Hello everyone! This is some of my newest work. Hope you all enjoy it, and don't hesitate to tear it apart. :) Thank you in advance.

This is a painting I did for a friend.

This is a school project, we had to change a painting to make it our own. This is final product.

Drawing of Alex Evans. Some of you might know him... He's a photograph and artist. I don't own any right to this, it's his photo, I just reproduced it.

Hi there!

1 ~ Very realistic eyes and hair. The lines around his mouth make him look a little weird. His nose is a little off too. I like the rose though; it adds a nice detail.

2 ~ My favorite one! I actually thought it was a photograph when I first saw it. It's amazing.

3 ~ This is really pretty. It doesn't look particularly realistic; I don't know if you wanted it to or not? I like that it doesn't. It looks like an old impressionist painting. I would like to see some more movement in the water though.

You're very talented. I wish I could paint like that. =D

I love the way you did Alex eyes, really gorgoues. And I agree with explosive the lines of his mouth are a bit weird, and the rose is awesome.
Your friend is very lucky, the converse look really good and the pants look realistic.
The third is my favorite, though the second one isnt far off, it looks fantastic to me.

1 - You got his hair dead on haha. Nicely done. I also like his eyebrows, his eyes, and the rose! As others have mentioned, I don't really like the lines around his mouth. It makes him look weird, and a bit old.

2 - THIS IS WONDERFUL! I really really like it, as you can see. I would buy that. There is so much detail in the piece, it's really very great.

3 - This one is alright. It's pretty, but it has the potential to be much better. I like the little bit of color that the flower thing on the cliff gives. I think the waterfall needs to be wilder. It would be a nice dynamic. Peaeful scenery with wild water.
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirious of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars

Im not reviewing, I'd just like to say that the converse on is... beyond words.

I actually thought it was a photograph, for like 5 minutes!!

I know its copied, but its still AMAZING :O

well done, you are so talented!

/Isha:/= To be honest, we are talking about mostly nothing which in its own essence is something. But somethingness can't be nothing if there isn't nothing in the first place. So really, we're talking about meaningly somethingness that's technically caused by nothingness.

I agree with everyone the converse one is just WOW! :)
I love it and I thought it was a photo too so great job.

I couldn't see the first one because photobucket has removed it apparently but if the other two are anything to go on it will be brilliant.

As for the last one I also really liked it, you are a very talented artist!

First of all, the first picture has been deleted, just to let you know.

The other two pictures, however, look very nice.
The first one is so well done that I honestly thought it was a picture. If it is a painting, because I'm still not sure, wonderful job. The second painting looks more like a painting, but that doesn't detract from its beauty at all. The waterfall is very nice, and I like the pop of color that the flowers add.

Overall, these paintings look very nice, and I'm curious what the other one looks like.

Hello,
I doubt you will take the time to look at this signature, you are all busy people and I respect that, but if you do know this. Every bit of criticism on my writing has helped and every bit of advice you have given me has also helped. So thank you, for everything.

Hey there,

Okay so for the first one: Really love this one. I think the way you overlapped the shoes is really great, and in a way it's really symbolic which i love in paintings. The shadow in the background is a really great touch.

Second: This one i like the most out of the three. Love how you made it look open, but secretive at the same time. Also love the plant.

And the last one: There is a good likeness, and i like the way you sketched the rose.

Overall i like the work, and i really hope that you do some more.

Oh my goodness, that first picture is quite amazing! I can't stop looking at it!
The shoes are close to perfect as well as the hem of the jeans on the right. I know it's been said before but it looks like a photogragh. ;)
The second one...I don't know what it is, it's pretty but it looks a little smeared or something to me. I do like the little flash of color from the flowers though, nice touch!
The third one is my least favorite, mostly because of his mouth. He looks angry or like he's pouting. Is he supposed to be kissing the flower? Otherwise, his eyes are nicely done as well as his hair.

Overall nice work!
