if you're looking for "hard critiques" you'll get no harshers criticism from me other than this...
the quick figure poses don't measure up to the rest of your work.
if i were you, i'd leave them out.
when a ballet dancer goes up for an audition,
i doubt she says "hey look, i can stretch! i can touch my toes!"
for me, figure drawings are like stretching - they are just an exercise to sharpen your skill.
and your skill is evident in your other pieces.
i am continually drawn to your trees. the way you show/draw trunks grabs me everytime. i think you might be part tree.
if i had to pick a favorite (and i have many) i think i like "off to school"
with honorable mention going to...
wants to play
marine
tree snake
dragon perch
i think you've got the makings of a killer portfolio in here.
could you narrow it down to 20?
i don't know if that's necessary,
but forcing yourself to eliminate some might help you in picking your own style / strength that you want to pursue more.
but enough praise!
since you're looking for critique, i'll get back to that.
for the most part, i don't think color added much -
but i do like your palettes for the languid tree figure series.
see - your work is too good to not say nice things about it.
good luck with your soon to come international fame.
