My digital art of the updated bedroom finally doesn't look awful

Took me way too long to get the lighting right. Kind of proud of it, though.

Last year, I spent three days trying to get the sunset glow right in a landscape painting. Every time I adjusted the layers, the colors looked wrong. I watched a bunch of tutorials and even took photos of real sunsets for reference. It was so annoying because I knew what I wanted but couldn't make it happen. When the lighting finally clicked, the whole piece came together instantly. That moment made all the failed attempts worth it, and I totally get why you're proud.

Remember struggling with window light versus lamp light in that same piece. Had to make the sunlight feel warm and distant while the bedside lamp created this close, yellow pool on the sheets. Mixing those two temperatures without making it look muddy took forever. Getting that contrast right is what makes a room feel real and lived-in.
