Really lovely work Nina! You are far beyond my skill but I have always wanted to pay you back for all the help you have given me! I don't know if any of this is right, but I did a paint over of the sandwich.
When I looked at this my eye is really drawn to the bottom bun because the values are really high. To me based on the cast shadows it appeared that the light was coming from the top, so I reduced the values on the bottom bun thinking the cheese and meat would likely cast shadow on it, also hopefully drawing away some of the attention.
I added some extra AO and bounce light, but honestly im pretty new at all of that so I just did what I thought may look good. I reduced the values on the eggs just a little bit because to me they were drawing a lot of attention. My version may not be as vibrant and its probably not right but maybe it gives you some ideas and was fun for me to think about! Really lovely work as always Nina!
Thank you! I really appreciate this. I couldn’t balance the values. In the bottom bun has a reflected light from the plate, I aimed for that. I like how you did the egg. Your corrections are right. This hamburger was a lot of frustration for me. In the begging I started to paint this foods references because I thought they are easy and because I suffer from lacking of any ideas.
What is AO? I am really bad with abbreviations:D
Here is the reference if you are curious
I started this a while ago. I dropped it because I lost the likeness, the colours was hard to figured it out and because I lost the original file. I needed a time to drop the frustration and to overcome my irritation. Still it is not perfect but I don’t know if I will continue it yet. I stick too much to one piece

This is a little bit different than things I usually do. As I mention before I don`t like sketching... but I really gave here everything I could. The hardest part was to make the chest right in perspective.
So, I really could use some advise or criticism, they are always welcomed.
!!! Chickens and chest are from a game, they are not my design! I like environmental art more. Thanks in advance ^^
This was the beginning, I can`t believe I pushed it to this level I needed around a 3 whole days.
Hi Nina! This is such a lovely piece! You should be very proud of yourself! I love the environment design and it is so cute! The only issue that I could see is with the perspective on the chest. The center of the chest is just slightly off on perspective. If you draw an X connecting each corner of the box, then a line to the vanishing point from there it will show you the center of a box in perspective, you can continue drawing these X's on each split half to further subdivide if needed.
It's a really minor thing and I didn't notice it until I pulled it up in photoshop so here it doesn't really bother. The chest is super well done and the thickness on all of the areas really adds so much and the curves look good to! Really well done here Nina! Keep it up! I want to meet this chicken!
