    Hey! This is pretty good! I hope  you don’t feel overwhelmed by all my comments, I just know when I post for critique I wouldn’t want anyone to hold back, so I assume that’s how you feel too.

    Okay so the first thing I noticed is that the character seems a tad off balance. I think this could be fixed by moving her left (I think it’s her left??) leg forward a little.

    Next, the black rose seems a little (random?) oddly placed compositionally. I would change this by either moving it so it isn’t cut off partway anymore, or add more roses around the character.

    This is a very small thing, and it may just be a style thing, but I think the trees might look a little better if you made the branches a little curvy.


    (I made dis, just in case I wasn’t making any sense)

    And lastly, The character’s head seems a little off to me. I’m not really sure how to describe what looks off, but .. It might be that the eye is too low, or that her forehead comes in too much. I drew over her face to try and figure out how I would have done it differently, but I’m not convinced my paint over is very correct either?

    I think overall you did a great job, and you don’t really need to change anything to call it finished. Although I hope something I said could be useful for going into future projects. (Oh yeah, and I think it’s super cool that you are going to be published!! Congrats on that!)
