Nice drawing Merol

I like it as much as I like your other pictures and apples in the tree. And I see some people not that I don't respect their opinion, say that she's too angry looking even though that's what make her cute. Keep the good work up Merol.

Interesting perspective

Good clean lines for this piece, with a very nice muse in the centre. I was a little confused by the perspective you have used, as the mountains can't be that far in the distance, due to the size of the trees on them. Perhaps I have been drawn away from the beauty of the piece by this error and the fact that you highlighted it in your notes.

The pastels that you have used for this piece give a nice soft look to the project and you can really benefit from something a little more harsh along the outlines of this. You've tried to do outlines in charcoal, but it doesn't seem to work. Careful though, as if you overdo it, you could ruin the image. I'd suggest an editing suite, such as Photoshop for that, since you can always delete the lines, without smudging. If you've already done this, consider darkening them ever so slightly.

The best part of this picture is the sky - it has so much going for it, with the lazy swirls that set it apart from a traditional sky scene. No clouds, but the effect of the waves and swirls really gives you a great impression.

Oh, it's her again

Oh yeah, I think I've seen her in some other pictures as well. But why does she always looks so angry? That duck is (kinda) cute, so she could at least try and smile a bit. :P

Just like SeeD I was a bit confused about the mountains. They look like they are located right next to that girl, which would mean those "mountains" are small rocks, but then the trees are pretty small as well. Or the girl is a huge giant, but that would mean the duck can't be that small either...
Only possible solution is: The mountains are pretty far away. I don't know if that is possible, but you should try to give this image more "depth", so we would instantly know the mountains are far away.

But that's about the only negative thing I could find in this picture.
The colours are a bit unusual, but that's "artistic freedom", I guess. ^^

Her again!

Jeez, she is just everywhere isn't she? I played through a whole game with her, and I think I've reviewed 3 drawings of her as well, lol.

This drawing is interesting, for a start. I too originally was wondering what the deal was with the perspective. I'm no artist, and this is way better than I could ever do, but I will say that the perspective here is quite confusing. It's easy to think that she's a giant because nothing really has depth to make you think the mountains are far away. I'm going to assume this is mostly due to the fact that the ground is a straight line for as far as we can really see...

I don't really have any complaints other than that. Your style is quite interesting. I like the zombie duck in the water, and the lillypad. Other than the perception issue, the background looks great, and the crazy purple sky was an interesting idea.

As for my comment earlier, I don't mind seeing this character more either. I kinda like her actually, and the crazy places you draw her.

Oh, and thanks for uploading a HUGE illustration! lol. Keep up the great work.
