Oh jeeze I really don't feel like I deserve to be critiquing this art.I think the pastel look is really good. I don't tend to see a lot of cartoon artists who use this style, and that's something about it that makes it really stick out to me. If it were in a group I would pick it out of a crowd easily, for sure. And it certainly appears you know how to incorporate the same colors throughout the piece instead of just in select areas, which makes it look whole. When I look it it I'm not being torn to separate parts of it, I look at it and see the entire thing. I think that's part of what separates an experience artist who is not so much in the experimental stage of their art from an armature artist who still isn't sure how they want to go about creating their art.If I tried to nit-pick I would say that I don't know where the character IS. What the setting is. But honestly, with this piece I didn't start asking myself that question until I was LOOKING for problems. The setting is irrelevant, because the viewer's imagination creates it as soon as they see the piece, or at least that's what happened when I looked at it. Giving that kind of creativity and openness to interpretation to the viewer is something that a lot of people would say "true art" does. So I applaud you for that. Also going to point out that I like the dress details and stray stands of hair.I really don't have any bad things to say about this, but I'm going to try.I notice that a majority of what makes the shading in this piece is the light, or at least, there are parts of the picture which should have more defined darkness to make them stand out less. (The aqua part of the skirt at the bottom right corner) The areas around it are dark, which makes it look as though it should be darker and in shadow. But it's not. It's the same color as the upper part of the dress.I'm also going to point out that the "black" (I honestly am not sure if it is black, grey, or a dark blue.) color used to shade the skin looks very unnatural. When shading skin I think it would be best to stick to peaches, oranges, browns, things of the hot color spectrum.But even so this piece is "cool" overall so perhaps the reds and oranges would not have fit as well.When I first looked at this I though that what was behind her were her wings, and now that I'm trying to pick my way into the details I'm not so sure anymore. The feathers need more distinction to kill that uncertainty.Drawing in different, interesting perspectives is really difficult to do, and when you're trying to make a complex work with such a simple character style it makes it all the more difficult. I'm going to point out that her arm could use some work. It's thick at the base of the arm, closer to the body and to create the illusion of distance you need to make it so that it more gradually becomes larger when the entire arm is visible. For that I recommend looking up pictures of people reaching toward a camera for reference. It would help, for sure. Especially for future pieces.Honestly though, you're doing really. well. I would buy an artwork like this from an artist or at a con for sure, and it was hard for me to find faults in it because of the initial impact of seeing it. Once you clean up the minor details in proportion and shading there isn't going to be much more an armature like myself will be able to pick out. If you don't already have commissions open, or haven't really thought about opening them, you should consider opening them at some point.Also please start putting your art in groups. You have to give more people the opportunity to see them.Your art stands out and it's pretty good. I'm sure you'd get a following rather quickly.
