I received a couple of suggestions for Tea with a View by =firedaemon and it is easy to see why! The amount of details found in this piece are just amazing and the concept is so original! The outfits are just stunning and I am amazed at how well this is colored! My favorite part are the fish that are near the tea that is being poured, they are so cool!

I still feel like I should work into this a bit more, but it's taken so long to finish and I should work on other things too ^^
From lineart:
I did do a digital version, but never quite finished
For the traditional original I wanted to keep a more analogical colour scheme and also have it at twilight time.
The original artwork was created using alcohol based markers and water-soluble coloured pencils on A3 Bristol board.
I hope people enjoy it.

Overall
Vision Originality Technique
ImpactThis is amazing; the fact that this is traditional makes it even more! I love the fearless use of bright and bold colors, it really catches the eye, and the compositional flow from the man's arm, to the teacup, to the woman really helps direct visual flow. I think otherwise it might be difficult to follow the action: the contrast between the background and foreground elements could be varied a bit more.
Everything in the piece seems to get an equal amount of attention and wonderful detail, which is gorgeous, but it also has the problem of shifting focus away from the main elements of the piece. However, you have partly solved that problem by giving the main characters thicker lineart, which helps a lot. I think pushing the trees back a bit by reducing the amount of detail and the richness of the color would help as well.
I also agree with what the other critquers said about her face/jawline. I think all you would have to do is give her more of a jaw by extending the jawline lower. In order to see this more clearly, just flip the canvas horizontally. You'll see it a lot easier that way; it always works for me!
Overall, this is a stunningly gorgeous piece, and I applaud you for going with the traditional version, it has much more richness and character! Your textures are wonderful and your design choices are as well. I especially love the added detail of the birdcages, and the railing of the balcony. Beautiful work, and congrats on the DD, it was well-deserved!
