I love this picture so much! It's so mysterious and the eyes are so expressive! It's very cool that you got inspired by the song from 30 seconds to mars (i love them), and the eyes really symbolize how you might look when you're awake at night thinking. The eyes can also symbolize tears which is great because everyone can read so much into this painting, I think. It's awesome that you've drawn the sides of the eyes differently, becasue it makes me think of that one side is you and the other is perhaps who you want to be. Although you want to change it can be hard. You've done a really really great job I must say! Keep going! Love your art!

I love how it shows both sides to the story. It is an amazing piece! I LOVE how there is fine detail in the detail. I think it is an eye catcher. It pops out at you in an instant. There are beautiful colors, and I love how you did the eyes. Everything is so subtle until you look and then it makes you feel as if you are catching yourself going "Ooooo" and "Ahhhhh" I know that that is silly but it is true! Your art (Especially this one) makes me feel like, if I could I would want to live in a world like this. You are an amazing artist and please always be unique! You are doing an AMAZING job. I look up to you in SO many ways! Thank you for making art.

Alright, this is the first critique I have ever written so bear with me. I'm also probably the most unqualified person EVER to be doing this, so feel free to completely disregard me if you feel that this is at all unfair.
First off, I think this is a really cool! The colors are really fantastic on both sides. The right side is my favorite though, I just love the vibrancy. You did the eyes really well, and they seem to have a lot of life to them. I also think your anatomy on the eyes is good, although I am not the best source on this matter.
If I were to have any qualms about this piece, it would be that I don't really know what viewers are supposed to feel or get from this image. The title and quoting of song lyrics in the description attempt to combat this issue, but I feel as if the piece doesn't speak for itself enough. While whomever the eyes belong to appears to be crying, we can't really get any anything else on the, err, feely spectrum here. The trailing colors from the eyes don't really seem to aid in the impact of the image. They are very nice to look at, though, and that's probably more than enough to justify their existence. The white lines and swirls going through the colors look nice as well, but I feel that they add a sort of whimsy to the image that I'm not sure you were going for.
All in all, I think this is a very nice piece. Your knowledge of watercolors is easily seen in how well you used a dripping technique and other methods seen in this image. I apologize if I sounded like an idiot at any time here (again, I really am total n00b at this), or if I was impossible to understand...

I love how you did the right eye in browns,oranges,black and yellows. I love how you did the right side in the reds,pinks,blues,black,purples and oranges! It looks beautiful! I like how you only made the eyes and eyebrows appear. I like how you made the right eye brown and the left one blue to match the colors. I absolutely love the dripping technique! I like where you made the splatters and drips come off the the end of the eyelid and the corner of the eye. This is amazing that you used watercolor and white ink. I like how the eyeshadow matches the color of splatters it is next to. I like the length of the eyelashes, not too long and thick and not to short and thin they are perfect. The way the eyebrows are shaped compliment the eye shape an splatters. i like how the right eyebrow is higher than the left to look as if she is questioning herself. Beautiful piece of art.

Beautiful colors, wonderful dripping technique. I could spend ages staring at this piece! The concept is also very interesting, and the way the colors melt into each other really creates an impact to people who look at it. The expression on the face is also very interesting, and the way the colors are flying out of the eyes gives a nice touch. i also really like the movement in this piece. Maybe one thing i would say as a constructive criticism would be to fill out the space up to more, or just leave it completely white and make it the focal point. All in all, great job. This looks absolutely amazing.

But the empty space gives it more drama in the piece. The white would take away from the eyes.

I am amazed by your art, you put a lot of thought into it. Love 30 Seconds to Mars as well, I often get inspired by music too. The line between good and bad, of dark and light comes to mind. Really made me think, good one.

The eyes tie the whole picture together. They're very expressive, and the different colors are very intriguing. Great job

I like it very much, especially because of the duality between the brown coloured part and the purple-blue-red coloured part. When making a promise, you create hope and so many colours in front of the person you promised to. But if you lie to her and don't fulfill the promise, it's like you're destroying all the hope and all the colours in this person's mind. This picture shows it for me. Congratulations for the beautiful piece of art.
