I like the warmth of this picture. It makes this feel very peaceful. The title and artist description reminds me of when I used to have insomnia in high school; I remember feeling exhausted all the time, and then like that I would finally fall asleep out of necessity and feel so good afterwards. I think the detailed background and the girl's curly hair reflects the sort of confused state of mind people drift in and out of before they fall asleep. You know what I mean? Like before you sleep you're half dreaming, lost in your thoughts, just like how the viewer can easily get lost in the curls of the girls hair or the repeating floorboard pattern. Then finally you sleep, and you are given relief from your thoughts, which is reflected by the warm palette of this piece.
Haha, so thats my interpertation. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for, but what I think would improve this picture is if you had the girls hair splayed across the whole picture instead of just one side, like if it curled around her face. That would frame her and make her the focal point of the piece. Hope that helps, good work tho!

Thank you! I considered doing that way but wasn't sure if it'd make it just too busy, haha.
I'm going to go ahead and admit what I was going for was "holy crap drawing hair on this tablet is so much fun."
