You rely fairly heavily on line for the robot. Maybe you can make some of those lines into shapes, and fill in some of the shapes made with the lines (like the side of his head could be black while the front and top remain white).Nechamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596123991972762340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-70577567013817363702010-02-09T19:04:41.257-05:002010-02-09T19:04:41.257-05:00It's clean, and the boy robot is convincingly ...It's clean, and the boy robot is convincingly smitten. <br />Nice job with the patterns in the wallpaper.<br />I think you might want to move the "camera" in a little closer, though.

I think the balance of light and dark is a little bit uneven, but this could be fixed if you did a different pattern on one of the two walls in the background.Matthew Carignanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889755335988089324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-60652869226853661962010-02-09T18:24:02.598-05:002010-02-09T18:24:02.598-05:00This is so cute, I liked it when it was a sketch a...This is so cute, I liked it when it was a sketch and I'm glad you used it for this time, made give the robot man a bit of a shadow just to really pull him down, a side from that I really like itLizzyDinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06882117159297097518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-7433132392282471252010-02-09T18:21:30.594-05:002010-02-09T18:21:30.594-05:00I love this piece.

I think the wacky wallpaper / designs really help to give atmosphere in a simplistic way.

I do think it's unbalanced, too much white on the right side and too much black on the left.

The left side feels a little heavy at the moment (as most of your darks are concentrated there) maybe try playing around a bit with adding another black shape on the right or just messing with lights and darks throughout the piece.Pepper Kaminoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962075022914767683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-61112114623688994692010-02-09T16:58:48.433-05:002010-02-09T16:58:48.433-05:00I also like the cuteness of this piece!
