This is a really pleasant use of textures and Photoshop effects.

It's difficult to make a judgment on the style you chose to render the character in. It certainly isn't my preference; her ultra-sharp anime chin is at odds with every other part of her body, which has been depicted as round and fleshy. I find it distracting.

It may simply be that you aren't drawing a person who is 'traditionally beautiful'. That's fine. Actually, I'm for that. If you were attempting to draw something more in line with what the illustration world considers 'traditional' beauty, then higher cheekbones, a more rounded chin, eyebrows that don't extend all the way to the hairline and ears that are less fleshy would be something to consider.

I love the colors you chose here. It's soothing to look at, not something I can say for a lot of texture-heavy images. I'm kind of surprised that you cel-shaded the character, though.

I wasn't going to critique this work as at first I didn't have much to say about it (not from the standpoint that it's a bad piece, but that it was just done so elegantly and there wasn't much to point out that I believe should have been done differently). It's an overall lovely work. The reason why I chose to critique this work is because after reading a previous critique on this work that the artist marked as "fair" I was forced to speak up. lol

First of all the previous critique, in my opinion, was far from fair. So I was quite surprised that the artist marked it as fair. The critiquer's main beef with the work of art is the facial features the artist has given this character. He/she pointed out the exaggerated eyelashes, mouth, and upturned nose where flaws of the piece, when in actuality I believe it gives the character her unique look. I thought it would be obvious to anyone viewing the piece that the woman is done in a stylized cartoon/comic character fashion. Cartoon and comic characters have always had exaggerated features, in fact it's one of the main techniques that helps the characters stand out and be memorable. So to say that these features of her face are "flaws" is, again in my opinion, quite ridiculous.

Now on to my actual critique. lol If you're still reading after all that. heheh First I want to start off by saying that I'm no where near as skilled as an illustrator as the artist of this piece. For that reason I hardly feel qualified to critique this work. However I do have a very good eye for art not from a personal skill standpoint but from the standpoint of an art lover and appreciator. So I critique this work with a critique's eye and not so much from the point of any personal skills in my own artistic level.

The lines of this work are beautiful. The bold strokes help the work "pop" and help the overall flow of the piece. Though I think if the lines where a little smoother it would help the work flow even more.

The facial features are extremely striking and add a unique look to the woman that is lovely and mysterious. I wouldn't change those and even the ears (which are a little big) add a charm to the character that perhaps tiny little petite ears may have squished a little. Overall the character is quite cute and her exaggerated features give her a memorable and dynamic look.

Color wise I have to say the background perhaps should be tweaked a little. It's great to use a background that ties in well with the character's colors and the feel of the piece, but I think in this case it perhaps too closely resembles the color of the woman. The creams and earth tones in the background are a bit too closely matched to the skin tones of the character therefor it looses impact a little. The character, I believe, should stand out a little more. Perhaps either pulling up the saturation of the background or dropping the saturation - either way would create a nice contrast with the character and help her "pop" more.

The red directly behind the character competes with the viewer's attention and tends to try and pull the eye to that area, when the focus should be more on the woman. Either dropping the saturation of the red or upping the contrast of the character would put the focus back on the girl more.

Overall I really loved this piece. It's dynamic lines and intriguingly mysterious and feminine look is and a real joy to view.

And if you read all of that - God bless you for your patience! lol

Keep up the awesome work, Bunny!
