...I think I just have a thing for cartoons, because I think this might now be my favourite of your drawings that I've seen, and it's got that...bubbly kind of cartoon-esque feel to it. Without really being cartoonish.
My only complaint?
The hand. There's just something about it...
I don't know if it's that it doesn't have quite enough dimension, or if it's just too. Round? I dunno. It's missing something, I think. Kind of makes me think of one of those old-fashioned clothes pins - the ones that have the bubbly tops?
It works well enough, though, considering the style as a whole. It's not jarring or anything. But you know me - I can't give compliments so I complain. Haha.
I do love it though. You've done a beautiful job with her hair, and the picture on the wall, and your shading is wonderful - really captures the curves and gives a sense of depth.
Anyfuck.
I'm going to stop pretending I'm an art critic, or that I know anything about art. Haha.
Love you ^.^

What should I do to fix it?? Because I do think it pops out a bit, but I'm not really sure what to do about it. I actually have a bit of a problem with the paper in the hand too, if you could offer something.
Yeah, I'm sort of really into the picture. Actually, I'm just really into the lines and the light. Alewitz made us draw lines for, oh, two hours the other day? Just copying old master's work. Lines lines lines... so I figured I might as well give it a shot. I think I want to do a portrait of Toby in the same style sometime this weekend, assuming I can break away from my homework for long enough. Hmm...

I dunno. I re-typed the paragraph bitching about the hand like 30 times, cos' I couldn't figure out exactly what it was I didn't like about it...having let it stew somewhere in the back of my mind for the past few hours, however, and now looking back at the picture, I think it's the fact that the top half of the drawing has a lot of details and such, and the bottom half doesn't, really, so the hand - being the biggest, boldest detail on the bottom - pops out, and makes you notice the cartoon-bubbliness of the hand having no fingers.
Ahem. Anyway. Fixing the paper-in-fist? I'd say just make the bottom back line (protruding from the back of the fist? that bottom line) a little more defined, maybe - it probably just got rubbed away, because the rest of the lines on the paper look fine to me. Just that one is a little weak. Sort of lets the paper melt away into...indistinctness? Is that a word?
You can tell I'm kind of fucked up right now. I'm not being very coherent. I'm sorry.
If I can think of anything usefull about the hand thing, I'll get back to you.
Amore ^.^
