Hi, nice, but i think its a tricky image if you starting. The mayor problem is the multiples light sources, the shadow in my opinion need some work.
I made fast test, but as i said it would required a lot of lightning direction study to do it right. A hard one....



Cheers!

Thank you for the reply, and I will definitely start working on my shadows. But is there anything special you would recommend doing to learn about light direction or where I could learn about it?

I learn it looking at pictures basically, its hard for me explain in detail this kind of things in english, but if you look at the lame example i made yo can see clearly how the shadow on the streetlights cant be in that direction for example.



But of course its really hard to do it 100% right, it depend on other factors aswell, like the differnt intensity on the multiple lights, distance etc.
For example the light in the streetlight its strong enough to made a shadow under the bank? or the light coming from the sky is strong enough to erase that shadow? Hope is understandable XD.
