All made in Pen, same as Angel.

Every rose has it's thorns... if you try to hold onto some, you might just get hurt.

Nice

A good piece. Ignore the Tparish; he is unduly harsh to your art. Personally I greatly enjoy the subject matter, the medium and the meaning which you tried to convey. That said I do have some constructive criticism [though yes, IâEUTMm aware you made this over a year ago], mainly on the anatomy of the hand. The position in which the thumb is drawn is very unnatural and as such makes the hand look awkward in its grip. Also, the fingers are not continued around the stem, giving the appearance that the hand is not gripping the rose at all [besides the pinky, of course]. These two things could easily be fixed [in future drawings] to add a greater step of realism to your art. A final thing is that the ground seems to have an excessive white space, while obviously the focal point is the hand, this makes the picture seem unbalanced in my opinion. Perhaps add a slight darkening to the "ground" to make it apparent the rose is on something, though this suggestion is purely a matter of preference. Having said all of this, I would like to say that your art is exceptionally good [having reviewed all of it] and your strong point is your exceptional skill with shading. I hope that I will have the pleasure of view more of such art in the future.

Awesome!

Don't listen to the guy below me....he has a point with the whole "dont draw to impress others" thing....but I dont think thats what you're trying to do. Some people just don't appreciate somthing that has meaning. I personally love it. And your style is really good too, keep up the good work!

okay, you'll think im a cunt, but im trying tohelp

well, first of all, DO NOT put a meaning behind the drawing if it was a quickly thought up piece, it makes you look dimwitted and takes away from the art itself.
you are trying way to hard to make it look like "art" dont TRY and make art, because it makes anyone who sees it think your a try hard, instead why dont you just draw or paint whatever what you WANT and feel like rather then something trying to impress others.
personally, this is really really bad. you are a good drawer, but mate, realism isnt your thing, sorry...
keep at drawing, remember for yourself k dude, otherwise yeah..

Great job on the hands and blood, overall, lacking

Great jobs detailing the hands and thblood
