I like this piece, it exudes a lot of feeling. The problem I have with it, is that it is too light. In order to be more eye-catching, you need to go the full range of values. This one and all the others suffer from a true lack of really nice dark values. If you don't want to ink it, you can work with a softer pencil or charcoal to give you those nice dark darks. I hope to see more of your work, thanks for sharing it with us.
Heh, my art teacher said the same thing about me and lacking dark values. I'll try to improve the one I'm currently working before I submit it. And thank you for the tip, and critiqueing. I really appriciate it.
