This is a picture I did of a friend of mine (also an artist). Comments and critiques encouraged and appreciated. :)

    Everything is soft and moving, but the books in the background look so stiff and out of place. I'd remove them.

    Thanks, Dead China Doll!

    You are absolutely right, I was shocked by how much better it looked without the books. (It's fixed in the original post now.)

    Typically when one is seated, one's shorts get smooshed up against one's legs. But it does depend on the position of the legs. To me it looks like she is somehow managing the very difficult feat of hovering just above the beanbag chair.

    The hover illusion is probably because her back shorts leg isn't touching the fold line of the bean bag fabric, and it seems like her leg should be touching that line. Though I could be incorrect.

    Also, her face looks...odd. I think it's the teensy little dots that are along her chin line and the ends of her bangs, along with the lines in her glasses. The whole effect ends up making it look like random noise added by the computer.

    Other than those two points, though, looking good. I especially am in love with the style.
