Hi there, Zakkiya29. I'm *Akif-Magic from the :devFeedbackFenzy: Team 25 to critique or feedback your lovely artworks.

First of all, I love the eyes, you painted it so nicely. In this art. You painted, shaded, and lighted it so nicely which make it so detailed. The second thing i like is that, the rose is beautiful. The middle part of the rose is nice but when the outside looks like red sheet of paper that has curves. I don't understand the red line on above it's eyebrows.

Overall, you did a fantastic great job there. It is nice. I like the rose the most. Keep up the good work and have a nice day!

Wow!!
Amazing colouring, the red and blue together with the skin are fantastic, the skin itself is drawn sooo good too.

Hi there zakkiya this critique is part of FeedbackFrenzy's Feedback Week; I hope you're enjoying it

First thing, what a lovely piece of work! This shows an abundance of talent and skill, with a very good knowledge of colour I'm assuming the colour folder you entered this for was red? The variety of tones you've mixed here is very good, from the delicate pastels of her eyebrows to the richer ones around her neck; they all work together well and portray not only light, but the fragility of the skin in these two areas which ties in really well to the rose and that haunting expression. As well as this, the sheer amount of detail you included (i could stare at the lines around her eyes forever!) is magnificent! I adore that you didn't attempt to smooth out the small imperfections in the model's skin, but included them true to the picture I also think that the change of hues works very well, the colour palette is rich and earthy, but evened out with the ice blue of her eyes and background
I think that the red lines dividing her face seem a little too solid- more like tattoos than liquid painted onto her face. This could be remedied by varyign the tones within them more, leaving lighter patches that'll show more of the skin tone below them for example. Also, the original photo puts the light source slightly to the right, but in your interpretation, there are areas where the light source seems slightly to central. This can be seen in the shoulders, where I think the left side could do with being a tad darker, and the shadows under her eyebrows a little less symmetrical also
these are only nitpicks though, your technique is fantastic! You've done the original a great service here

I love how rich the colors are in this. Sometimes really putting down the pencil on the paper can be a challenge but you had no problems with it, so this image came out a lot more vibrant than the reference you used. You've also got a bold style with highly contrasting shadows that's perfect for using so much color. It's easy to spend a lot of time being aware of this composition even though it's simple because it's so visually rewarding.

The one thing you should work on more is being aware of the difference between your style and that of your reference. The ref. is a lot more faded and has a greater range of subtler tones. When you're translating that to your style, think about eliminating some of those extra ranges--here, the eyes are bothering me just because the reflections on them seem weirdly stylized to me. (Also, the tear duct of the left eye on the nasal side is a bit too low.) I'm also not sure how much creative license you were wanting to take with this but the body is skewed in proportion to the head.

Besides that, I do like your fantastic use of color. Have you tried using a completely different color range from your photo reference (basically drawing the negative)?

Hi! I'm from ! I love the colors in this piece and the eyes are just dazzling. The rose and the eyes really do work together! But I wish you had made the background a lighter blue, so it gives the rose a more focal point. The eyebrows are also a little too perfect, I would have liked to see some stray hairs. Also the blood seems to go beneath the eyebrows like it hasn't matted the hair. You could have fixed this easily by adding some red strokes to the hair in the affected area.
Overall, I like what you did and it really does look like the reference you used. However, I can't really judge your originality in this case. I still love it though! I can't wait to see what else you have!

Her eyes look so real and are so filled with emotions! They speak to me

Wonderful job, sweetie, the rose is also outstanding! Something I will never achieve with my coloured pencils, believe me.

Wow, i like this. i l'm impressed with the build up of colour in the figure and she does have the most striking eyes, i could tell who they belonged too straight away. The bold contrasts on the rose really help to give the image a lot of impact. It looks great, well done

beautiful work! for me your drawing conveys even more emotions than the original reference, maybe due to the more vivid colours, great piece
