Artist's Comments

It's a sort of final piece for advanced higher art. I'm just trying churn out as much as I can now - I've messed up this year deadlinewise! It doesn't really look finished but I don't want to detract from the faces by filling up the bottom with more of the pattern on her dress.
I can still add more to this, so have you got any ideas on how I could improve it? more black at the top? any huge mistakes that I haven't noticed? the back of her head's a bit odd, I know. And the faces don't look alike. Ha :D
pen and pencil.

here are the other pieces on the same theme -

There're some really, really gorgeous parts in this, like the gloves. So detailed, wow.
I'd add some more tone somewhere, I think, just to balance out all the white. But it looks amazing anyhow.

I agree.
I think it just needs a few tones at the bottom somewhere to give it that balanced finished feel.
But be careful- I'm sure youre well aware of this-but those light lines and the fading out of it all is just beautiful! <3
I think it's a wonderful piece.
Keep it up!
You can do it.

pir-anha, girl, DO NOT touch the pattern. trust me! the girl and the reflection aren't in the same position (which i think is VERY cool if you did it on purpose), but they DO look alike! you can't zoom on it, which bites, but try lifting the upper lip of the original girl (not the reflection) a bit, line it or darken it gently..

mind you that i'm only giving suggestions because you asked to, otherwise i would just keep my unworthy mouth shut and marvel at your awesome, amazing work (which i love and almost cheer when i see it on my subscription updates!) *.*
:iconmr-macd:
I wouldn't do ANYTHING more to this! The lyrical line describing the arm, back and breast are a brilliant contrast with the detail on the figure and reflection! If it were not for the superb dark mass of the glove(s) I would do some more, but because of this powerful element of the piece, I feel anything more might detract from the overall composition! This is an EXCELLENT piece of work! Congratulations! Cheers!
