Description Hello! I'm not really sure what this is. Those tear drops were fun to do though, but they look a little off. Anyways, I like it!

Update: I fixed (almost) all the things I've gotten criticism for. Thank you so much! The only thing I couldn't bother editing was the tear flow, sorry. But the next time I draw tears I'll keep your words in mind. Thank you again

I love this. Really relatable. I mean, when ever I have one of those downward spirals it's like I can see myself in every negative situation (or pool of tear) in my life.
This is lovely, well done

Sometimes I really like surreal stuff and I really like this. I love the color combination and the effects. Those reflections in the bubbles are awesome. Very nice image!

I went automatically to this piece because I saw it, and I liked it a lot. But it turns out that I've seen it before, and I've already fav'd it. So, nice job! I love it.

First of all, I must confess that it was when I saw the distorted reflections on the bubbles that you got me towards the fav

I like how you chose blue which, albeit the "obvious" water theme, fits this perfectly just by the fact that, being a cold color, it passes her feelings with a strength other color couldn't have. Overall, I like the way you did her, although I think that you don't have a consistent light source (from what I'm getting, the face's light source doesn't seem to match the bubbles' and the hair's). This, of course, is not immediately noticeable, but it affects slightly the perception of the drawing, and the ways it impresses you. Also, it would've made the bubbles more dynamic (per example, if the light was closer to the viewer, so would the reflection, making them shinier and intensifying the impact)

One thing that I think stands out too much is her nose. In her face, the nose is the darkest area, and it seems way too rigid for underwater perception.

Overall, I enjoy this very much!
