Happy Halloween by Davincigirl on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

This is some really beautiful work! Love the different shading techniques here, with hatching in different directions combined with stippling - it's a unique style, and it also work great at showing the shapes and adding depth!

Talking about shading, I would still have darkened up some areas around the mouth a bit more. Right now you don't have a lot of actual black, and this makes those few dark areas - especially the stem - stand out quite a bit more than they should. Darkening the shadows would help fix this, and draw more attention to the mouth.

The photo also looks ever so slightly blurry. This isn't something you notice before looking in full size, but a really sharp photo would have been an improvement. Something to keep in mind for next time!

Overall this is still well done, though! Love the swirly details in the stem and how well those work with the candy The overall presentation is also really neat!
