Trying to learn about environments here... Need to hone my skills in that area, urban environments most urgently. This took me way too long because I wasn't really sure what I should do with it, design-wise.

The perspective is completely eyeballed, which is kind of a first for me. It shows in places. I just kind of ended up getting it to a stage without guidelines where adding them seemed like too much work.

Maybe it's just me but that lighting on the back of the red truck doesn't seem consistent with everything else. This is unless it's a perspective issue between the truck and the building.

Possibly try adding some more atmosphere to the background and make the forground much more crisp. You've sorta already began that but if you're going for the whole city thing why not give the buildings behind not necessarily a blur but some haze (?).

Nice piece though Smile

You could also brighten the sky a bit, especially in the background; Make it warmer.

the bottom part is too dark

it's like there is a big wall hiding the light

Thanks for all the comments, I agree with most o fthem. I didn't want to haze the image up too much, but as I was walking down the street the other day, and the weather etc. were very similar to this setting I noticed athmospherics do play a bigger part even on clear sunny days than is shown here.

Newera: that's exactly what is happening... I chose a very low angle for the sun since it's setting, that made for a dark foreground. I probably didn't nail the light dynamics as well as I would have liked to.

Its good in the art skill way but it seems dull and boring. Try adding a more interesting sky and light source colours.
