thanks for the heads up :D Lately, I've actually been reading a lot of art theft on here so i'm gona go research more on watermark so i can do it on my works. I've never thought that my work could be stolen, but who am i to think that way, right? Dang, sometime i'm so ignorant about things, which is not good. So i'm gona change that :D
Well now that you tell me I can see it now. Well with the pencils I was wondering the 8b says 8 and was actually a 4 lol,jk. Something happened like that to me before when I was using different brand pencils.
One more thing I forgot to mention is that u should have put a mark or sign in it to keep the plagiarizers away. And again keep you the good work.
Thanks for the critique!
I see where you are going :D Now that i look at it, i do feel that it's a bit one tone. I do like the idea of contrasting it. When i worked on it i didn't think about contrast and stuff because i just wanted it done so i overlooked it. I'm gonna keep this in mind with my upcoming piece XD
thanks for the lovely comment :D I think that feet was the best one i've ever done XD When i was working on it, in my head i was like "if this turns out bad, i'll cropped out everything else and keep the feet, then give it to her" :D
oh sorry, she's laying on top of a couch that has a blanket covering it :D
I didn't really do a good job on the patterns of the blankets and i could have done better on the shading of the folds. I'm not really too fond of doing folds so for this one, i sort of winged it and didn't really use the pic as a reference. I remember reading somewhere, along this line: "art doesn't haven't to be exact, it just gotta be convincing to the eyes." So i kept that in mind when i worked on the couch and blanket :D
Yes! You are absolutely right on the head/hair! I seriously used an 8B pencil to go over it, but it didn't have enough of that dark shade as the 6B pencil that i used for the skirt. Now that i think about it the two pencils were from different pencil set. Maybe that's why? I should have use a kneaded eraser to take out the 8B and go in with the 6B. Maybe...maybe i could go over to my friend's house now and make that change??? @-@
Thanks for the comment, i really appreciate what you gotta say because i really admire your work, so this means a lot :D

You've done a fantastic job with this! The pose is very well executed - and as others have said, you've done her feet extremely well. Especially her left foot - the one that shows some foreshortening - that's very difficult to pull of, and it looks flawless, here. Excellent!
If I were to critique it, I might have suggested taking some of the shadows in the background and throughout the figure a bit darker - to lend balance and movement from the central dark shape that is her skirt or whatever. That's not to say, however, that the current effect is bad - and indeed it could just be a different focus you're going for, which simply works in a different way. Either way, this piece is very well done!
Great job pandaman, I am really impressed with the details you put in this; the drawing of the feet, the paint/ tats on the leg and the skirt really stands out, and you did it all in one day Nioce. Well the only thing that I cant really make out is what she is lying on and the only thing I think I would have done different is giving her hair a darker shade. Well great job yet again man.
Nice; I really like the shading and variation of values. The feet also look really good too; I could never draw feet well. XD Awesome work, as always. :D
