Description

“Elphie, Elphie,” he said, horrified, and lurched after her, and put his arms around her.The blanket hung between them, chin to anides, but seemed about to burst into flame itself, or roses, or a fountain of champagne and incense. Odd how the richest images bloomed in the mind when the body itself was most alert..
“No,” she cried, “no, no, I ’m not a harem, I ’m not a woman, I ’m not a person, no.” But her arms wheeled of their own accord, like windmill sails, like those magicked antlers, not to kill him, but to pin him with love, to mount him against the wall."

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire

Seriously, this book is amazing. I could draw a few pieces for each paragraph.

This piece really stood out to me because of your unique style.. the way to color is amazing, great job! You control your shadows well and I love your cross hatching technique it really works with the kind of art you do. I also love the way you did the woman's eyes, they really catch your attention at first so well done!

The only thing I really notice that you could of done a bit more accurate was the man's nose and his facial markings. In the first box his nose is drawn as a small dip and in the lower box it becomes very straight and doesn't keep the same shape. The facial markings also need to be warped a bit to really look like they're part of his face. They need to follow the direction of his bone structure.. ex. the lowest one needs to be bent around his chin a bit more. (However, the markings on him in the lowest box are right on target, as they come toward you they get larger and fit his face more so nice work there!) One more thing, his left eye appears to be a bit lazy and doesn't follow the other one, it's looking more upward then the other.

Other then those minor details I love this piece! It's so well done and I love your choice of colors & concept. The box layout is a neat design as well. If you have any questions or comments of this critique please feel free to send me a message on my profile or comment. Keep up the amazing artwork!
