Queen of Hearts 15

This critique was brought to you by HDdeviant of The Pine Platoon

The composition is well balanced. It leads the eyes centrally. The shadows push to the eyes. I have looked at other illustrations of your queen of hearts and you usually depict her pleasantly but you tend to use eye color + shadow casting + a particular curvature of the eyes to signify a negative intent. You maintain that general quality here.

The light source in the image is from the top, determinable from the shadows of the arms . You use the shadow well to suggest a tilt of the head, while keeping the face parallel to the viewer. Her heavy breast have an excellent drooping form. She is sitting hunched and with breast that large they will hang, many artist miss that. Based on the other images her breast are depicted a little larger here, an issue only in the continuity of the characters design across illustrations.

The shadow from her torso should cover the seat. Her upper torso blocks the as does part of her head or hair, but that should cover the seat and immediately beneath the seat.

I prefer the other eyelash choice you usually use with this character, the rounded tips, the wide lashes going central at the tips only is unique, but stylistically I don't think is as sharp. Though that is just an aesthetic judgement, not one of technical quality.
