Despite my childish comment below, I have a great deal of respect for this piece. It quite skillfully depicts the emotion and loneliness felt by the poor character, as she unsuccessfully tries to forget about both her past and her present bleak condition.I would like to commend you on your great use of contrasting values in the lighting to set the mood of the scene as a dark and gloomy place to be. Adds volumes to the emotion you were going for. The bolder shadows in the brighter areas and the more subtle ones in the rest of the room add a lot of realism and is sure to keep you focused on the character in the middle of the scene. Also that is where I would like to point something out. The way you have the light coming from the window set up, and the rest of the lines of her limbs, seem to be trying to focus your attention on the middle of the area around her lower chest to crotch where there isn't really much going on. Of course you may have just wanted to focus it on the character in general [or even on that spot I mentioned], but I would have personally focused the lines and light pointing towards her face or a more interesting and specific focal point.Also relating to the lighting I think you could have made the whole room that is in shadow even darker. Quite a bit actually. [yes I know that is hard with watercolors haha] But this may be more of a personal preference ^^ Just judging by the size of the window I think it would be a much more focused light, creating a more intense beam. And since the beam of light is already about as light as it can be the rest of the room would need to be darkened ^^I would like to say I absolutely love the inks here too! You always do a fantastic job in that aspect! And how you filled the room with plenty of interest like the little rat, the straw, and all the folds in the cloth add a lot of realism to the work ^^ Only thing here I would like to point out is I think the perspective is a bit off in places. I think that would be a great area for you to focus more practice on, especially ellipses and circles such as cylinders in perspective. The floor, walls, table, bed, and pillars all seem to be correctly drawn, however the hookah, bottles, coins, and the pot in the distance all look off in perspective. It's a easy fix really just takes a bit of practice and looking know what to look for ^^ And not sure what it is but the entire top right corner that is farther away from the camera looks "off" somehow. I have trouble explaining what... I think that that cupboard looks too much like a wardrobe and it makes it look really far away. If that is a wardrobe it would easily be higher than the top of the shot at this angle ^^ Everything else great though! No perspective or drawing issues at all with the character! She looks beautiful!And lastly I would like to mention the emotion of the piece. It really speaks volumes of the emotional state of the victims of society, the poor and the desperate. Being reduced to having no choice but to sell your body for others to use, while just trying to forget your current sorrow and emptiness by obsessive drug use, is a far too common and unfortunate occurrence in today's world. This drawing drags desolate their condition to light, and shows how cruel the world can be for the ones society no longer cares for.In the end I really love what you have done in this piece! It is very well done in pretty much every aspect! I'm no professional, so hope my input can still be understood and at least little helpfull ^^ I really feel for this poor girl! I hope she one day can have a better life and learn to love herself again e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title="(Big Grin)"/>
