Hi! The comment which follow comes under the , so expect to something long!
As usual, I'll start with the positives, before talking about the negative aspects thereafter. First, what I see positive in the first place, it's the drawing itself. You have a great talent for drawing. We recognize all the details of whom it's good to have: eyes, hands, hair, etc. Everything is very detailed, without being overloaded. It's a very good thing. Regarding the choice of colours, it's a good idea to have put the character in black and white, it brings out the pink of the mask and the turquoise of the diamonds. Also, to stay on the colours, the choice of not having put the orange colour is appreciable, it changes to eternal drawings in orange and black that we are used to seeing when it comes to the topic Halloween. Finally, I finished on the good things pointing out that you have not yielded to the modes of manga style drawings, or even worse, of chibi style. This is a very, very good thing!
Regarding the flaws of the drawing (it's necessary for me to find there) I find it a shame that the bust is cut in this way. Perhaps would it have been better to cut the bottom a less angular way. And then, it's a detail, but it is unfortunate that you did not put your signature. It's the small thing missing.
Voilà, c'est fini. I hope you enjoy my comment, and above all, that you'll understand, despite my mistakes in English. ^^

Oh thank you for your critique!!
I still feel like anime style has a death grip on my art (I started drawing pokemon looking stuff) but I appreciate your comment lol

Hi! Here from ProjectComment:
Okay, this piece really, really creeps me out for some reason, and I love it. And I'm not big on being creeped out... I think it's because of the boldness of the eyes, and how they really stand out from the subdued colors of the rest of the piece (I'm colorblind, so I'm not sure what other colors are used, I just know they don't hit as hard as the eyes do).
I think the character's anonymity plays into why I'm so attracted to this piece, too -- it lets me fill in her background; who she is and what she's doing. It also harkens back to the movie Donnie Darko on a more pop cultural level. Her blouse and gloves make me wonder what time she's from, and the only distinctive physical attribute we can see -- her hair -- does nothing to define what time period she's in, so it's just another mystery about her to be solved. It just looks like you managed to bundle up a whole lot of interesting possibilities in one simply styled drawing. (And teh simple style is another reason to love it...)
So, yeah. That's just a bunch of me gushing. I don't really have any suggestions on how to improve it, because it's pretty awesome as is.
Despite being creepy.
Which I'm okay with.

Oh wow thank you!!
I was definitely going for a mysterious vibe so I'm so happy you love her ❤️
I didn't really know what Donnie darko was until your comment but I looked it up and I definitely see it.
Her time period in terms of her clothing was more of a duel thing and I probably shouldn't have done that. I was going for Victorian goth ish with her blouse but I felt she needed her hands covers so I opted for gloves popular in the 20s and later years.
I based her hair off one of my ocs Which I guess is irrelevant And I haven't considered basing it off a time period but I definitely (I've said that word enough) will consider doing that in the future, since this is part of a project I'll be doing more of them.
You said you were colorblind so may I ask in what way? I'm just interested in stuff like that.

I love her hair as is! It's timeless, in a way.
I'm red-green colorblind, and it basically means I have trouble distinguishing shades that are close together, like dark shades of red, brown, and green or blue and purple or bright green and yellow. My avatar, for instance, probably has a number in it I can't see since it's a red-green test.
When I work with colors, I look up rgb codes or use the eyedropper tool. The Robot character I draw was supposed to be blue, for instance, but I accidentally made her purple.

Hm, I suppose you're right on that!
oh wow that's interesting!
your robot character is super purple I'm sorry :/ but it works lol
Have you ever done paintings that were made up of different values of one color? idk I feel like t might be easy for you since they're more value studies than color studies.
So I don't know if you were going to go your whole life wondering but I see a faint 8 In the center of the circle in your icon.

Hah yeah I've seen some where it was a dick or something.
Oh yeah that's understandable. But it was just an idea. I'm not forcing you lol. I just think grey can get a little boring sometimes. Like it doesn't convey any type of strong emotion.

Great job with this piece. The colours, though minimal really add to the character of this drawing!
I really like the crazy look in the rabbits eyes. It gives an Alice in wonderland feel.
There's a fair amount of detail in the face, however the detail lessens the further down you go, almost like you were getting inpatient with it and gave up near the end.
It looks good though, awesome piece!

Yeah I recognized that Alice feel after I drew it lol
I drew this at 1am for class the next day so yeah she a lil rushed and it sucks that it shows but I'll be more patient with the others I'm working on.
