This is an interesting painting. The girl gives gives a sort of eeriness to her beauty as she smiles while her face is melting in a semi psychedelic way. The use of the cool colors with the light pink brings out the contrast to pop out, in an appropriately subtle manner that does not distract or overpower the entire piece.
One thing should have been done more are the eyes. They need to have been drawn bigger because the art of "Big Eyes" is to give exaggerated features of their pupils dilating to inhuman sizes and to have childlike expressions that are simliar to an infant. Without the title, this looks like a painting of a simple, yet beautiful piece of a young girl. Not many would not have assumed otherwise. There also seems to be a disproportion of one eye being higher than the other
Overall with the good use of color and originallity, but the lacking on the caricatures based on the theme, this would be a good piece by itself.

Thank you so much for the crit! You're very right that the eyes could have been given a lot more emphasis. (It's so ironic because a few years ago I used to draw really unproportionally large eyes without knowing, and now that I'm purposely trying to draw big eyes, it's not big enough XD)
Thanks <3!

I LOVED THE MOVIE! I wouldn't have known there was that sort of style that long ago, I feel like that possibly influenced a lot of culture of the more cartoon art today!
