My Buddha

Just finished this painting today. Stupid H said that the shadow looks very artificial. Bleah!!
I will have to ask my teacher what his professional opinion is. 
I thought it looks okay what!

H is right. the shadow is off. Look at the angles of the shadow from the head piece and the angles of the shadow from the arms. The light source for the head piece would be left and slightly above the head. The source for the horizontal part of the arms would be actually below the arms, again based on angles of the shadows to the item casting the shadow. On the positive side... the Buddha is very well done!!
