Hello and I am from and I am here to give you a critique that you requested. Thanks and merci for your patients and I will be 100% honest and respectful to.
I will start by saying it will be a challenge to full critique this fairly since I cannot see the original stock for the image, thus I don't know the extent you went to in order to get to this art work that I see before me, but I will still try my best.
Strengths:
- The overall composition looks superb. From the colors to the lighting it all looks very very well done.
- The lighting looks incredible. The fact that the artwork has more shadows than being bright works extremely well with this artwork. The lighting gives the artwork a great dark and mood, eerie atmosphere and it look great. It is also very cool how the lighting really hits the right places and helps to add strength to the focal point which seems to be the lovely face. Great reflective and edge light as well, very good job.
- The color is my personal favorite part of this artwork and I think one of the if not the strongest aspect of the art. The way you did complimentary color scheme is brilliant and you pulled off a very difficult color scheme to do that many artist struggle with. The contrast of the colors is wonderfully done 10 stars! The cool emerald blue color of the top lady is very soft and dark and it is an amazing contrast to the bright, intense red and pinks of the bottom lady and this works very well because it is not only contrast in color but intensity which adds more dimension and depth to the composition. What also is amazing is how the two complimentary colors are blended in the middle in the middle to make a lovely soft magenta. It is great how you made them blend and not just stay separate like some other artworks I see with a similar theme. The colors look amazing and you should be really proud of a job well done.
-The textures look really great. The textures add more detail to the artwork that really aid in making it more unique. The texture in the background and the hairs is not overwhelming but has great balance. This artwork strongest aspect beside color is the contrast ( I guess the color adds to it) the contrast of textures from the soft skin add more balance to the artwork. The artwork has a great balance in color, light and texture but enough contrast to make the overall composition very interesting and dynamic.
- This artwork is very harmonious and belongs in a gallery....or my wall
Suggestions:
-Now this is not much of a suggest but because I am not sure how the raw stock look I want to make sure I cover all the bases just in case. Okay the only suggestion I have is not about this artwork because it works well with this artwork but for future artworks in general. Some of the stock in the hair looks a little flat like they are not 100% blended into the hair but for this artwork it works because it adds texture and contrast so it looks amazing but for future purposes if you want to fully blend your stocks like a photograph be mindful of this. However, if your doing it for some personal style thing then it is fine.
Well this was my critique and I hope it helped in some way or encourage you to keep making good artworks

This piece just gave me goosebumps when I looked at it--that doesn't happen very often! I could look at it all day!! Gorgeous piece! I think you have captured your concept of the manic depressive VERY well with the obvious contrasts. I'm indeed very sorry if you have suffered from this type of depression, but I hope you are well, and your artwork coming from it is truly inspired, so I guess there's a silver lining in every hardship, right? Sad to say, but true! (Please take no offense from my ramblings--I talk too much!!!) XXXOOO! Anyway, beautiful art!! Should be in a gallery!!!
