Hi, I know this asks for Critique, typically I don't respond unless I know what areas the artists wants feed back on. So this is sort of a from a chalk artists perspective Crit.

The drawing itself is great. I can tell what the image is. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>

I think what you need to improve your chalk art is getting better materials. The chalks you use don't seem to have enough pigment. Try getting soft pastels. Make sure it says Soft and not Oil. Oil will stain the surface. The soft pastels just have more pigment then chalk. Its a dry medium, so like with water color, you want to build up color slowly because eventually get to much color and it can great a pastel mound of muddy dust.

You can use industrial foam, sponges, chalk erasers for blending your pigments to get a more even color.

Keep with it! you've definitely shown improvements!

Not really chromes fault either. Its a bit complicated but there are 2 main reasons. Adobe flash player wasn't very secure, and flash just killed mobile phones when it came out. At its core, Adobe flash wasn't really meant to do what people did with it... and it wasn't future proof.

We are using better tool now like WebGL or HTML5.

Thought I'd mention Web Browsers like chrome are blocking flash, its not DA's choice.
Flash is being phased out from the web for a wide variety of reasons. 

And yes I made the calculator available for download
