It's simple, yet I love it. It might be a quick sketch, but there's still detail there, and emotion. The detail in the lips and nose still stand out and show skill, and the colours emphasize the shading skills. The vibrant colours really stand out for me in this piece though, due to the fact they represent the explosion of emotion through the key element; the eyes. I think the removal of the eyes does create quite a surreal atmosphere which is effective. But like you said, this is just a simple sketch, yet it still is brilliant and I really enjoy it. Well done.

This is a wonderfully haunting piece, much more intriguing then the previous piece I critiqued.

In many ways, it is frightening, as if the upper portion of the face is being blown apart. At the same time, it is calming, and uplifting due to colour choice - which only adds a level of macabre to the art.

In this case, the technique is seamlessly employed to create a consistent, flowing narrative. Whereas the last piece I critiqued seemed forced to work work the colours, this one pulls everything together in such easy fashion - as if the final outcome was meant to be.

Despite being much like the rest of the artist's portfolio, this piece stands out as bold and beautiful. The serene face, explosion of bright, happy colours, really set this piece out. If I had my way, this would be a DD for sure!
