I remember reading about negative space the other day when I was studying tree branches on the net. Only thing is, I was so engrossed in the branches that I ignored the negative space. Gotta go back and read that again! I'll have to search for the site - it did have some really great branch drawings.
I'm getting the feeling that a painted backdrop is sort of like a power point slide show. You're really never finished, there are always enhancements that can be made. The painted building on theright is too clean, it needs more shadow under the dock canopy, and maybe a general "grunging up". And I believe it also needs a light blue wahs to mute it out some. I did that on the previous background buildings, I like the look.
On the tiny buildings on the left, well, they say a backdrop is there to enhance, not to be center stage, so if it took you a bit to notice them, I guess that is good.
