I have been hired many times to give advice and constructive criticism to art students so I looked at your work as I would any other artist. My opinions were solely based on what you asked for..comments on your work.Drawing takes constant practice and I still to this day carry a sketchbook in my handbag and I sketch all the time.Keep working  |
Elizabeth,
As an artist, you do have to have thick skin! LOL One person may love it and and another hate it LOL. LaviniaHyacynth is an excellent artist and her art isn't exactly what the picture looks like. That's her style. She was just giving constructive critism. Believe it or not that's what I love!! I don't always agree, but I go back and look to see what they meant. Constructive critism has helped me tremendously!! I will email you about the grid system!! Keep sketching you are doing great!!
