Looks good enough to come off of a mental health pamphlet, "What is DEPRESSION?"
This is just KICK-ASS! The mood is darkly sad, with crushing blackness trying to consume her. Already wounded, she starts to surrender to the darkness in her soul. She closes her eyes , preferring the darkness inside her eyes to the darkness of the world outside. She covers her privates, waiting for the final blow, and seemingly resigned to her fate.
It's powerful, and emotive. Dark, mysterious and tells a subtle story that captures the mind.
Damn! You did REALLY good! I'm in awe.

Maybe you did project some sadness into it. As artists we do that all the time. We can't help but put part of selves into our work. She does have a sad expression on her face, and body. More like sad fear, actually She poised to be hit , like she's been hit before. I don't know who or what is going to hurt her, but she looks emotionally beat up. Fatalistic, but not very serene, though.

i think you hit the nail on the head with "emotionally beat up"
maybe not serene, but just tired.

That's probably why so many people responded to it. I'm in that boat,too.

Well, you may not know if you like it, but I know that I do :3
One of my favourite parts being the title and the picture combined, it's "black", yet... it's not. There's a strange, pale-PALE-green/cream, undertone to it is so subtle yet obvious all at the same time.
I just can't find the word for it, which is frustrating, but I mean to say that it's so clever how you've added colour into what could have been a usual black and white piece, and have actually achieved far more atmosphere with your choices.
The pale colours give this look of not being there, floating, in a dream world, but not necessarily a nice dream world.
Aaaah, rambly rambly, sorry, but yes, much liking! Love the way those hands are positioned too :3

at first sight i thought she had blank eyes, but they're closed, right?
she has sweet little hands and knees.

She looks so sad and lost. D:
But I really do like this. If I wasn't so dirt poor I'd /demand/ you make this into a print so I could get it and hang it on my wall.
I rather like the background texture, it makes it look so much more alive than a solid black background would. Kinda like she's in a constantly changing, frightening darkness.

I really like the hands in this. It's like they show her giving in to the sadness...

i get a Edward Gorey vibe from this, maybe its her misery and the dark black lines.
i like the way it is,
but if you need to change it my instructor would say to make it big, red and political...

maybe, but i think he justs wants his students to be more bold.

that's the problem i have with art classes.... sometimes it's like having someone taking away your identity and making you into their puppet.
i know that's not the intention though.

yeah i know what your talking about. i think it is important to push yourself into unknown territory even when you do feel that you are out of your comfort zone. its just another way of learning. i always try to maintain some of my aesthetic when i verge into new mediums or areas.
i think its just a matter of balancing things, which is easier said than done.
