it seems pretty good. is there a certain type of mood your trying to go for? the yellow guy seems happy and every one around him seems mad, so is he happy that hes alone?

anyways. its a nice pic none the less

Yeah well done. I just did a thing like that for my Graphic Design diploma. We had to make a design (anything) and emphasise a particular element by:

juxtaposition
tonal contrast
colour contrast
size / scale
isolation
angle / direction
repetition
shape
colour
etc...

Oh yeah forgot to mention, that you could also try to make it less obvious / Subtle for a greater impact and to make the viewer think about it and search. our teacher said to us... Emphasis in disguise

Man, this picture makes me realize just how much I love being surrounded by blue people.

I really like the style you drew this picture in, and the colors are great. The composition is good too, except for one little thing which REALLY throws it off for me. The two blue guys in front of the happy yellow guy are both looking up and to their right, and since their eyes are the highest contrast part of them, we instinctively follow their gaze... up and off the page. You may want to play with the angle of their pupils a bit, so that if the viewer follows their line of sight, it either hits the happy yellow guy, or circles around a bit.

Like I said though, it's a minor thing, but it has a pretty big impact.

Great comments gentlemne, thank you. Collosimo, I couldn't agree with you more on "emphasis in disguise" I never really thought of that.

Waylon, I also see your point on the pupils of the front men. MAke them more straight on and not so looking off the page.

thanks again
