How's my art piece?

Question: How's my art piece!?

It's a little dark, the picture I mean!.!.!. but that doesn't matter!.
Basically we had to do a pen+ink drawing for art last year, the beginning of grade 11, and this was the end result, I got graded a 97%!.

I mean, I like it, but I want to know others opinions!.

I guess you could say this is fishing for compliments, or for constructive critisism!. Which ever comes first, but thanks for both!.

Excellent duplication of a difficult drawing!. Durer was foremost an engraver and his details were expected to be intense upon inspection!. I mean very good!. You do have an eye for that art work but next try the pointillism school, where small individual color dots are used so when you view the picture from a distance it all comes together!. Hope you keep it up!. Don't worry about what the teacher gives you - you know how good you are!.

Wow, that's really good!. I like it!. =)

The only criticisms I can come up with are that (1) the hands look a bit pudgy, almost to the point that they look swollen in certain areas (though this may just be your style) and (2) the folds in the sleeves look too round/soft (this is only in a few small places)!.
[[ I would love to make my comments more constructive, but I've never done stippling so I'm not sure what advice I could give you!. =) ]]

Overall, I think the 97% grade was what you deserve on this piece!. Great work!Www@QuestionHome@Com
