Nice simple use of flowing/loose line.

Not sure about the usage of the pattern on the dress or the placement of the figure. Since she is looking to the left, I feel that the figure should have more space on the left instead of the right. Some breathing or directional space if you understand what I mean

But I still like the image alot

Thanks for responding, guys. I really appreciate it.

Sevans--I've received the most comments on the pasted pattern. It was an attempt at texture and intended to be flat. Not thoroughly successful.

And the balance of the image can be done as you say. Her sillo sitting in the center gives a sense of the uncertain that might be approaching from screen right. I'm reminded of an example in the documentary "Visions of light" where an example of a non-classic framing allowed for a moment where the audience is kept from being served up a full shot of what is happening. "Rosemary's Baby" was the movie and the scene has the main character suspicious of a telephone call being made in the next bedroom with the door ajar. Only a piece of the mother-in-law (if I remember right) making the phone call was visible. The cinematographer mentions that he observed audiences leaning over their seats as if by doing so they can get a look at what's happening in that room.

Not to say that the image above intimates that as well. As a still it could go any number of ways. Skinning cats and ways to do it have been inumerable. Depends on what's intended, I guess.

Thanks for the comment.

Rayl--Thanks for the kind words. I know what you mean about seeing Nina doppplegangers. I swear there is a girl here at Pixar who dresses like her and could be her twin. I gave her a copy of the book and I'm afraid that I spooked the poor thing.

Thanks again, everyone.
