Description Behind darkness
Beneath candles
Whispers waltz
Around our dreams

The shortest distance
Between two points
Is the line
From me to you

Feet turning black
Is this the path we must walk?
No turning back
Wish I could just hear you talk

Can something like this be pulled
From under our feet?
Leaving our skin
And burning coals to meet

Tell me now

The shortest distance
Between two points
Is the line
From me to you

Wallpaper for personal use only. Cathartic piece that was also a challenge for me to draw and paint human skin and hair. Quite interesting experience.

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Speaking as someone who generally have only seen you draw nonhumans, I can say right off the bat that I'm even more impressed with this work of yours than I usually am. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="XD"/> It is a very nice concept of combining art with music, and I feel it turned out well, even if that did result in taking off half a star for the reason of the song not being your own.

I am very much impressed with the detail in the hair especially. The only thing that holds me back from giving vision a perfect rating is merely my not being a fan of what might be visible on this woman below the canvas.

All in all, great job!

Hey there! thanks a lot for the critique. I really appreciate it!

Well, the picture was supposed to have no headphones in the beginning. Just... a woman in her most vulnerable state, contemplating about her position. But thanks a lot! c:

You're welcome!

Ah, okay. So, I take it my join.me comment about her hands encouraged you to add them?

She looks beautiful. The background is dynamic yet calm, and my favorite part is the is the cloudy quality of the borders, a bit like stardust. It contrasts with and highlights her hair as well as her skin, both natural and living. She seems to be in her own world with the music, having her freed from gravity, eyes closed, mouth lightly parted, that one lock of hair over her eye.

I really think you've improved your humans a lot through this one piece! I really like her eyes, and how her hands are positioned! i really like the subtle detail in the earbuds as well!

I would've liked to see a bit more depth in her hair; specifically more highlights in certain parts of her hair, it would make a world of difference! A bit more darkness in the crevice of her collarbone would also really make that body of hers have some real depth to it

Great job!

Hey Vio! Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it

would you mind showing me which areas in the hair I should've highlighted more? I was wondering about that because I know it's missing something, but I could not pinpoint what. I'll also work on the depth/shading, since that's a department I'm a little scared of!
Thanks again!

you're welcome!

I'd mainly like to see some highlights in the "highest points" of the hair if that makes sense.
The hair there goes in waves, and if there were some more highlights at the apexes of those waves, then there would be some more depth added to it.
