Hi, my art class is doing symbolic self-portraits too. Along with the actual art, and the statement, I also need to analyze another artist's self-portrait that i like. Yours is my favourite, and I was wondering if I could use it for my project.
Much appreciated >.< (fancy words~)

oh my gosh, wow!! i would be completely honored to have you analyze my portrait! i'd like if you could tell me what you say about it, if you're not too bashful to!
but yes if you need any information about media or myself to successfully analyze it, please don't hesitate to ask!

So sorry, it's done. I'm getting it back this week hopefully.
Although it may not be as awesome as what you may have thought. Considering it was actually for a class and stuff.
Anyways, I SHOULD be able to send it to you sometime this week

Critical Analysis (info on artist and where it was found was put on a different page along with portrait):
In this symbolic self-portrait, there is a blonde girl wearing a green jacket and a compass necklace. She is looking to the left while wearing a frown. Behind her is an assorted array of cacti. A giant cactus flower surrounds her head. In her arms is a cute, black and white cat. The four main colours used are green, pastel pink, dark pink and brown. The focal colour is yellow, which is her hair. The colours connect the different parts of the piece. Along with colour, the other elements and principles of design used are: line, space, texture, unity and emphasis. These elements and principles work together in order to bring together the piece, put focus onto the girl and gives the appearance of spring. The light spring feeling contradicts with the dark emotions shown on her face. The messy -no offence- blonde hair and large eyes might represent the artist's actual physical characteristics. The shadows under her eyes would represent her lack of sleep most nights. The compass necklace could represent her love for maps -lol this is embarrassing- or how easily she gets lost (metaphorically or literally) The cacti around her represent her favourite plant or a prickly wall she puts up. And finally, the cat in her arms might represent her love for cats or mischief or might actually be a pet cat. My opinion, I like the piece. I find it cute, well thought out and I like the unity shown in the piece.

Wow~ that was a lot. And it's really embarrassing. Keep in mind, that it's only a grade 10 project. ANYWAYS, i wanted to tell you I got 13 out of 15 on that. She wanted me to be more specific
Thanks so much

Really like your style, I believe it would look excellent sewn onto fabric (like a cape).
I have two black and white domestic short haired kitties I want to get fitted into portraits, maybe film a detective action drama with multi-shot editing...

I love the softness and the color balance(the pinks, brown and green),
and the sort of scheme-breaker color (yellow).
Also, the linings came out awesome.
This is what I strive for in my works as well,
even if mine are far less soft-shaped.
Good job.

Beautiful colors and lines. The textures of the plants in the background look great, and set off the smoother and more simpler shapes of the figures in front. Love!

I like your art style. I'm a huge fan of manga and realism art, and even comic book artwork, but it's nice to see something different and refreshing from time to time. From your style to your colors to the eyes, etc. it just really caught my eye ^_^
Never forget that different is good, and the naysayers can GTFO =3
