I like this one, I like the composition, even tho I have seen a painting like this before, I think this one is done better. I like the pink, I like the contrast. But I didn't like the bird because it has no angle, it is just standing sideways and I think it is boring and looks flat. But it may be your intention too, because already a bird on a girls head is unnatural. The bird may symbolize things like her ambitions or desires, dreams. So in this case bird being flat like a symbol is okay. Why noy right? Not everything should have interesting angles, even tho mostly it makes the composition better and lively.
About angles, I really would like to see this painting with a different angle, lets say, from below. It would make things much interesting in my opinion. But this angle is pretty good too, giving a feeling of mystery yet the colour give a feeling of innocence.
Also in this angle, the silhouette is very strong, especially the birds silhouette.
About technique, I think it is very well done, the girl is nice, I can feel the form, everything fit together reasonably. background is smooth. Hair texture is great, I like it.
About he impact, I didn't get moved by this a lot, but I understand if anyone get moved by this. Everyone have different criteria of impact, it's very subjective. I think the reasons it didn't impact me are I have seen this composition before and paintings of young girls (I see this character as a young girl, around 8-10) doesn't have much to explore.
Anyway, it's just my opinion e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I'm waiting for your new pieces and I like to see some interesting crazy angles in your paintings, there is no guarantee that it will be good but it's worth a try, you have a great talent and I think you should explore as much as you can, but if you are comfortable in this area it's complete alright. I'm not trying to change your style, I'm just saying you may find things that you love in the way and add them to your style/paintings
Have a good day!

What is it.. The sky we seek, the goal we need.
Nevertheless we keep staring at the sky, looking for answeres, looking for purpose.
To me, this Bird is The incarnation of her. its a way to visualize her dreams.
The title 'never learned how to fly' States on the first look that this bird is being shown the world by this girl. But for me it states that this girl never learned how to 'Live. This bird resembles her, SHe is stranded while being alive. no purpose but alive. No goals, but she IS alive.
They both look into the same direction and if we think of the direction as the long sky, its clearly undermining the scream for purpose this picture emits.
I like the idea, its a theme we all thought about atleast once, usually more than once. I can state that for myself, I find myself staring at the long blue sky, looking for something i cant even imagine.
Also, since the bird is colorfull and she is Clearly absolutely pale we can also see that her innerself is quite colorfull while her outer-self is pale and doenst attract any second looks.
Looking at this picture made me think of myself. It had no impact at all at first but it still had something. It is an original idea because of the bird visualizing her inner-self. The vision may not be very appealing to the eye but that is actually more fitting for the picture because it doenst distract from the maintopic, which is the girls stare.
Overall It sure is well done, but i wouldnt hang it in my room. 7.5/10.

I love the details in the piece. The skintone looks so delicate and yet beautiful with touches of the freckles. The hair seems to be a standout here for me, it seems to have the most of tones and details. I think the acrylic pen really adds depth to it.
The bird is an interesting touch, it adds a bit more visual interest to the piece. One thing though I desired in this was different background. As much as I love your style having lighter touch in colours, but it seems to lack contrast here. I really wish the background was something like navy or even royal blue to make the silhouette read better, because now my eyes seem to get lost in the baby blue hue.
Overall I do like this piece, it is beautiful, it is that I just desire more contrast to make the details stand out more.

I think if the background was darker the bird wouldn't read as clear. You might be focusing on that because you're used to her work and seeing more of a white background, so your eye is moving to what you're not used to seeing?
I actually found the background of this piece a nice change and thought the blue complimented the hair color nicely. Sometimes less is more and while I do enjoy your pieces which contrast large dark areas with the softness of the faces, I liked this piece probably better than if you would've included such an element.

I haven't viewed her work in a while. That being said, I did mention it still works as it is, but for me personally, contrast is great way to bring out details. As it draws the viewer intentionally to view the certain aspects of it. Then again, art is in the eye of beholder. From my experience it's just my prefered look. I haven't worked on portraits in a while personally, it's been few years.

I really like the look of the plain blue and the color scheme. I think it makes it look more surreal and invokes a feeling that I don't think you would get with more contrast. I think her back needs a bit more detail and shading though. It almost looks like the artist started with the hair and the bird and got a bit bored of the piece by the time they got to the back and bottom.
Overall I think its great

Overall I think it's a really nice piece. I do think a few more interesting things could've been going on in the background to provide more contrast, even something like a gradient or something to differentiate the different value/temperatures would help the subject stand out a bit. Everything is kind of in the same range of lightness making everything kind of blend together. But your handling of the medium is very lovely and distracting enough that there is still plenty to appreciate.

What type of bird is that on her head? Beautiful painting, by the way, I like the peacefulness. To me, it kind of tells a story of the bird and girl as good friends.
