This is quite harrowing. One thing that bugs me a bit is that there are so many white areas within vicinity of each other: The heart, the liquid in the jar, the shirt collar, the scarecrow's face and to some extent, the hair. And even the bird's beak. It's understandable that black and white poses certain restrictions that could be eliminated by introducing an additional color (such as red), but when sticking to black and white, this could benefit from crosshatching on at least one area of choice, to break the illusion that all of these surfaces have the same texture. Even though there is shading on the shadow areas of the head and the heart, the center of the face seems like the sort of an area that could benefit the most from hints of texture. I would assume that the skin of a scarecrow is made of burlap sacks, so that sort of a pattern would make it more believable. Also the heart could potentially be darker. I understand that it's risky starting to apply texture/crosshatching to a large area because if you realize midway that you have gone too far, it's impossible to take the color off when working with traditional media. Additionally, the high level of detail in this might be a bit counter-productive. In your other works, you tend to use more effective shapes. This is somewhat disjointed and doesn't have the same sort of balance that most of your other recent works possess.
