Nice sketch. The facial expression is good. The details is good. The shading is good. The depth is good. Still what brought this rating down is your presentation. The bottom left hand corner wasn't cropped out. Still the creation itself is balanced and eye appealing. Remember presentation is as important as the artwork itself. Still creative and good job overall.

Really strong rendering on the eye and lips! A little hard to tell what she's holding without the context of the title, and I think some more emphasis could be put on her being goth, like darker hair or clothes. The rendering on the neck and clothes in general I would like to see match the level of rendering on the face. Use of reference should help with that! The mood is coming across, though, particularly with her expression. A solid entry particularly for a first post! I'm excited to see this artist grow!

    Thank you, although as i am a beginner, can you please tell me what rendering is! Again, thank you for your feedback and honestly!

    Of course! Rendering is used to describe form and detail. It’s basically how well-drawn something is.

Interesting entry for this contest. This has an eerie feel when viewing, well created gothic appearance. I like the way you created this woman with long wavy hair and her pose holding the single rose over her left eye. Good work to show her hand and long painted fingernails . Her face is well shaped and features are accurately applied!
Best wishes to you in this contest!

First off, welcome to FAR. Very abstract and creative. Colors, tones, details, shading all look really good. Overall a nice presentation. Thanks for sharing.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very good view of that temptress. Definitely a rose I would not want to smell! Well drawn and good luck.

I like how you have drawn her full lips and other eye. Too bad that rose covers the other eye. Great layering of her hair. The rose on her eye is not pretty defined and it looks tricky on that area. Overall, a great entry but could have been improved.

    thanks for the honesty and feedback, i asked my family about it and they thought the same thing but couldn't put it into words

    AOK! Next time you'll perfect it. Most of it is already great. It is just that small area that needs improvement. Keep playing with your pencil.
