you forgot to wipe.

I like the texture and the eyelashes in this one.

on the crit side, you suffocate your ladies. I find you crop your images way too close to your character, and it creates this anxious, nervous, unsettling feeling. And upon further inspection, they're always centered. Just watch for that. Unless you want me to feel unsettled.

haha, thanks toonz
Actually, this was one of the few times the claustrophobic cropping was intentional, but I'll keep it in mind for the next ladies.

her mouth really pops out. And she looks like a man, with the tie and all. But hey, - she's got lipstick. ;P

hahaha, never heard of a business woman huh?
... I guess she does look a bit manly though...

Annie said...

hmmmn... this is a very interesting piece Andrew... so like you, and yet so very UNLIKE you! I thought you liked clean, glossy brush strokes? I love it of course, because I totally dig that style- especially the messy white lines all through the side of the piece...
Gotta love that little umbrella too, excellent extra touch!
Kinda makes me think of Dracula... was there a female dracula?

Andrew Smith said...

thanks Annie! Well dracula was a count who happened to be a vampire so there couldn't be any female count draculas because he was it. but there are, of course, female vampires...
