Hello! *tardis101 from #ProjectComment here!

I would like to start by saying that I love this idea! It's very cleverly thought out!

I love the fact that in the actual picture the girl is hanging, and yet the piece of paper she is drawn onto is hanging from your finger! I find that very interesting! Its almost as if the picture has 2 meanings!

The colour contrast is also interesting - a colourful background against a B/W foreground makes the piece slightly more sincere, whilst the utter cuteness of the girl lightenes the mood!

And, I don't know how you managed it, but the fact that the background is blurry really makes the paper girl stand out! The eye is drawn to her immediately, and it makes her look very crisp and clear!

To improve, I would try and make her skirt a little more flowwy - it seems quite stiff considering it is just hanging there!

Other than that, you did a wonderful job! Very well done! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="" title="Clap"/>

I hope you found this helpful!

Thank you very much for your feedback I really appreciate this!

The blur just happened xD I focused the camera on the girl and this, as a result, blured everything behin her. I didn't change the picture afterwards.

I will try to get more motion in the characters' clothes the next time I try something like this

So, thanky you I'm always so happy about critiques 8D

Well, I think it's all about how far away the background is and on what you focus .^.

This is really a striking piece. You have a strong concept and have executed it in an original way - I haven't seen anything quite like this before. I think it is made more poignant by the fact that the girl is made of paper; it makes her seem less important and more... disposable, I suppose. I also like your absence of colour when drawing the girl as this makes her seem insubstantial which all adds to the effect.

I agree with what other have said about the good contrast between colours in the background, and not in the foreground, and your focus is good.

One thing I would suggest is to crop out the top of the image slightly where it shows the brown above the background as this isn't a straight line and looks as if it's not supposed to be there as all the other edges are straight into the background.

I like idea of having a hand holding the rope that she's hanging by as it suggests that her death is the fault of someone else, or that someone forced her into it; made her think she should kill herself for whatever reason.

A really nice concept and strong execution. Thank you for sharing. (:

Long comment is looong

Thank you very much for such a great comment <3
I see what you mean with the brown part; this is from a frame hanging above my stuff there, I'll crop it later

And you don't have to thank me ;'D I must say thank you to you because of your awsome comment

I don't really know whether you want feedback on the paperchild drawing, or on the composition of the photo in general, so I'll comment on both.

On the drawing - the lines are clean and strong, and the body gives the sense of depth and volume, even with the simple lines and lack of shading you used; very nice! You are a good artist. The shirt hangs a bit awkward though - I guess I miss a collar. The head, hair, and face are done well, and her expression is matching too.

On the photo - it has a good composition, and the paperchild has a good contrast with the blurred background of photos and papers, both in brightness and focus. The fact that there is a visible hand holding the rope (instead of just hanging from a ceiling or such) hints that she was "pushed" to commit suicide by someone or something - such as by events in her life, symbolised by the clutter of images in the background.

Overall, good drawing and nice composition.

ohmy, thank you very much for your comment ;^;
Any feedback would be great but you are awsome for writing so much

Yeah, the collar looks a bit awkward ... this design is slightly different from her normal one because she wears a jacket/coat over it and this was the only collar to come in my mind while drawing to fit her.

I have to admit, I didn't thought much about a 'concept' for the photo xD But I have this great wall cluttered in stuff and liked the idea of having it in the background But anyways this is a really nice thought you had there, I may use this again for her story.

Thanks again for this great feedback

Very, very nice! The lines are clean, the girl is perfect and the background fits well, as if it were memories or something. The blur kinda makes it strange for the eye, but is an awesome photo.

Thanks
It took me a while to get the lines like this because I tend to mess them up /D
The blur just happened, it was unintentional but I liked it and it's nice to hear that it fits
And thank you for the fav ; )
