Rather moody and sad if you ask me...But I must say, I do believe it is well done. Believable-no, but a great drawing-yes. I would reccomend you work on the little bits of the drawing, and try to give them a little life instead of just sketching 'em down and leaving them.
I do not have a short attention span, I am-Hey look it's a sparkely KITTY! Quick Catch it!
I like the idea of this drawing a lot, but it just isn't convincing me. I realize it was a sketch, but I think the tears look too fake to make the picture as depressing as I'm guessing you wanted it to be.
Well, I like the idea behind it, but it doesn't come off as visually appealing. For one, the eye could be greatly improved. As eyes are one of the most intricately drawn human parts, I would advice you to practice drawing it. Also; you could remove the stick man. It doesn't work here. The fruit looks a little squiggly and there are a few un-erased lines. Fix those little things and it would look better.
Keep drawing. ~Lava

This was a nice picture. I loved the abstract way that it was presented and the random things you drew and how they all complimented each other. I just had two minor comments, okay?
The first is that you should try to watch the way you draw your eyes. Firstly, they should be a little bit more almond shaped. If you notice this really good sketch of a crying eye, you'll notice a few things.
-Size Right now the tear would just engulf the eye. Tears are actually very small, and they stretch out as opposed to expand when they get farther and farther from the eye.
-Tear Ducts You know the pink things at the edges of our eye? You can kind of see them in that drawing. Our tears have to come from somewhere, right? Secondly, since they're on the side, our tears would come from the sides of our eyes, not the middle.
-Eyelashes I noticed a few things about the way you drew your eyelashes. Firstly, they're way too big, and like the tears, could engulf your eyes. Eyelashes a really short, probably about a millimeter long. Even if you have longer eyelashes, they aren't going to be too long. It just needs to protect your eye, nothing more. Secondly, your eyelashes are too few and spaced out more then they should be. How are eyelashes supposed to protect eyes if there's room between them for stuff to get it?
Now, this may seem a little confusing, and that's fine. What I suggest you do the next time you're drawing any human proportions, is to look at a picture that you can reference to. That way, you'll be drawing things as they actually are rather then just using your memory, stopping every two seconds and going, "I think this is how it is."
My second comment was to touch on the way this picture was presented. I see stuff that isn't your picture in the drawing, and I don't want to. It's distracting and takes away from the overall feel of the picture. If you don't have a scanner, that's fine, but we shouldn't be able to know. I can see you've taken this on a flat surface, which is good! However, you may want to take the sketchbook from a straight angle as opposed to a titled one. Also, look through your viewfinder when you're taking the picture to see if you notice any little things like that. If you don't, and you upload the image to your computer, you should be able to see then. That stuff can be easily cropped out on any photo editing software.
I hope this helps! PM me if you have any questions.
