So yeah this is something I drew after reflecting on how much our dear mums do for us. Not only would we not exist if there were no mums, but we would be completely lost. Think about it.
I almost didn't post it, because it's not often that you see a picture of a pregnant woman and it's a bit weird... But anyhoo, hope you all like! The last time I was around a pregnant woman was when I was five, so please excuse if my proportions are skewed.

Hello,
First of, I really like the tiger, you can tell it was drawn carefully. The background is very detailed, but not in away that it over-powers the two main characters. You might want to improve on making the woman's fringe less big. Not so it doesn't cover her eyes, but that it's less wider. You don't have to take my suggestions, it's just that I usually have to pick out one fault. It was all so cool, but like I said, I have to pick out one improvement!
Well done!!!

Hey Durrie!

Great picture. I really like the setting and idea.
So, nitpicking this.

1. The first thing I noticed was that her neck looked enlarged as if she was suffering from goitre. Or, if you meant her to wear some sort of neck-covering thing, then it doesn't really look like there is one.

2.Hand: You'll need to rub the lines of the stomach that's inside her left hand. Her right hand is a little disproportionate. The fingers need to have defining lines that correspond to the joints of the bones.
Her feet also need to be drawn better. It seems to hang like a flap of flesh. Work on those.

3. I like the tiger but its expression is a bit weird. The mouth looks like its smirking, but the eyes don't say so.Also, it's face needs to be a little shorter. Try to make the outlines of it's body to have little jigs to make it look like fur.

4. I'm not quite sure what's on her head. :?

Anyway, a good work in all. Keep practicing your art. You have a good style.
Cheers,

Hello, I am AspiringAuthorA..M. and I shall be your reviewer for this late our in my part of the world.

In an abstract kind of way your drawing is stunning. But, it is not without it's issues. I will let the washed out back ground slide. Although, I cannot let the tiger go unnoticed for he is one of the two main focuses of your drawing.

As you can see the shading on his mid-section is off. And the geometry of the right side of his head (yours and my left) gives him a contorted, slightly grotesque appearance. If this is what you were aiming for than I applaud you. But, if it's not then it wouldn't help to balance out facial features to keep them in proportion.

The only flaw that is worth mentioning about your woman is the string of dark shaded hair hanging down her right shoulder. (Again our left)

Over all: I really loved thsi piece of work.

Beautiful, durrie, just beautiful! ^-^
They say the eyes
Are windows to the soul
I say the earth
The sky
The moon
The very breath upon my lips
All of these
Are windows
To you

It's cool. Although, the download was too big. Very good details. Very original/unique.

The background looks like that of a movie. The tree behind... really great. May I ask...? How'd you do it? It's really interesting. The tiger, and the pregnant woman really well drawn.

Keep up everything you've got! Take care...

Scipio: Not scared? Well, aren't you the little tiger? RAWR!
