I'm not sure what's up with this Balloon obsession of mine. More specifically yellow ones.

awwwwww, it's so cute!!!!!!

i like the girl and the dress, its pretty adorable. i <3 how she has hair and a full dress ans shoes but only has stick arms and legs. it totally adds to the adorable quality.
The title is sweet and fits the picture.
I like how only the balloon is coloured,and how the sun is sadly covered up by the clouds.

Awwwwwwww!! I love her! I think that it was realy unique to give her full hair and body but stick hands and legs. Your really good. I guess the half-covered sun means happines and it fits the title with the a girl can dream of happiness and stuff. Really good, your really good artist :)

I like this! However, I think that it would be better served without the girl. Her arms are kind of wierd, her body out of proportion. You can try to fix these things so that she doesn't appear as cartoony, clashing with the simplistic tone of the image, or you can remove her completely and just have the balloon, which would be pretty and simple.

Anything that you decide to do would be fine. Also, I don't like the fact that this is on lined paper. It's good for doodling, but when scanned it comes across as messy and the lines are just distracting. So! Doodling/Rough Drafts on lined paper, finals on printer, okay?

PM me if you have any questions.

Hello!

I love this, I like the way it is cartoony, though I do have to agree with Elinor that the lined paper was a little distracting. :)
I think that the stick arms and legs add cuteness and character to the image. I think that the title really goes with it. So Well Done!

Keep Drawing,

Aww... This is really cute! I think you've done a good job with the drawing, and I like how the girl is a little unevenly proportioned.

I really, really like the balloon, I don't know why, but I can never get the shape right, (lol). The string, is a little too wavy and the waves are too even. It's like it's a wavy piece of string, and not wavy because of the wind or the way she's holding it.

Anyway, good job!

Keep writing.. er... drawing!

It's cute. You've been doodling in your notebook, huh? Think, math maybe...? I don't know about you guys, but I do draw a lot in Math.

Well, it's adorable, for that matter. I like how the girl is standing. She's looking at the horizon... Geesh, I don't know. *lol*

Well, keep it up. I hope you dream a lot...

Good dreams!

Hello, I am AspiringAuthorA..M. and I shall be your reviewer tonight.

What's a dream?

But, anyway, your drawing in it's simplicity has a quality in it that just makes it a tad bit sad. First of all the ambiance of gray is often used to personify the environment with depression.

And the stick girl holding the yellow balloon seems to represent choice. To me the girl seems to be deciding whether to let let the balloon go, out of her life. It is hard choice for her, letting go of cheer in a world of gray.

Sorry, I may have strayed from the whole point of your drawing my deciphering of it to find a deeper meaning.
