"identity is the crisis of adolescence"



My younger sister is currently in a halfway house/rehab center. Gotten herself into lots of trouble and become mixed up in things she should have never dealt with.


This is for her.

you good have made more reflections in the glasses or you good have made the glasses more transperant, you good make reflections in the lolly and you should draw the background in small circles(circulism), not in a straight line, to make it a flat background and not a line downwards

Well her glasses weren't very transparent except for that the bottom where you can see her skin. They're very dark glasses.
You're right about the reflection. I won't lie, I totally avoided doing the refections because it kept coming out awkward looking.
Thanks for the imput about the background too. I'll try it next time.


Thanks so much for the critique!!

Nice job on capturing the colors of the lollypop and wonderful shading on the hair! Also, nice work on the glasses- those came out nicely!

A suggestion- When shading skin, you want to go for blues and purples. Reason being is that they will bring out the darkness a little more. Also, you want the part that you will color the darkest to be up against the light. The reason being is that when you look at a shadow in real life, it actually looks as if that is the darkest due to the fact of the high contrast between the shadow and the light. I also suggest adding shading to the lollypop. It seems very flat compared to the rest of the piece.

Other than that, though, nice work!

Thanks for the critique. I appreciate it.

There is actually shading on the lollipop though, the camera kind of washed it out I think because you can see it on the actually piece but I agreed it doesn't look like much on the computer

I really like the colors you've used. I agree with ~AmericanLink that you could try applying a little bit of purple to help with the shading on the skin, but otherwise it looks good. And it's very sweet of you to do this for her :)
