I like the snowy effects and the way it frames this piece! The soft shading on the snow looks very nice.
One thing that can be very difficult for artists is human anatomy and posing characters in a way that looks natural. The way the back arm of Lawliette is positioned here looks unnatural. I'm having trouble picturing where on her body that arm is actually coming from. I think if you shifted that arm forward, to grab the icicle closer to Abel instead, that might improve the posing of this piece. If you're looking to improve your understanding of human anatomy, line-of-action.com is a great resource!
I think the way you drew than hands is great! It looks like a nice realistic shape, with enough detail to imply fingers. Keep up the great work!

    First off, I want to thank you so much. I have wanted some detailed criticism like this for literal years and I could cry. Happy tears.

    Second, thank you so much for the suggestion! My anatomy is always a WIP but I'm thrilled to bits to get some ideas on how to improve! I'd never heard of that resource so I'll take a look and studdy up, thank you so much.

    Thank you for the compliment as well!! Hands are such a struggle and I've been experimenting with simple shapes to get a clearer message. So I'm really flattered that came across well.

    Hope to see more from you over time, this was such a breath of fresh air. <3

      I'm so glad you appreciated my critique! Dropping criticism on new people is nerve racking. I'm new to the site but excited about the functionality to communicate being open to critiques.

      I like it here, I intend to be around a lot!
