[Phoenix Tears]: so Scott says the first one

[Phoenix Tears]: and Tom says the second one

[Phoenix Tears]: gosh don't know which to choose

[SkorpionDruid]: I think I can tell you why it's hard to tell which one to use.... it's because the darker shadow looks good, but it is much to sharp of a contrast with the hair. It makes it look thrown on. Perhaps you could shade the hair a little darker on the right side, and it would match the shadow better, and lessen the extreme contrast. Oh and maybe shade some of the other shadows darker. Like where the arm is.

[SkorpionDruid]: oh, and btw, I love the drawing, its fabulous! I can never NEVER get the "looking down" perspective. You did a wonderful job though!

[Phoenix Tears]: yeah, that's exactly what i was thinking as to why i can't seem to choose....good idea....but, see, I never, absolutely NEVER touch a drawing once I've officially "Finished" it, if you understand that....I dunno, we'll see though....I may yet

[Phoenix Tears]: hee *blushes* thanks so much! I was worried that ppl might not be able to see the "looking down" perspective, but hey, I guess I was wrong! Yay! Thanks!

[SkorpionDruid]: heh, I know what you mean about not touching the finished drawing. I'm like that sometimes. If that's the case I'd choose the first one, because even though the contrast isn't as good it has better blend.

[the crazed artist]: first one...in the second one, the darker shadow sraws the attention away from the actual subject of the pic...

[Phoenix Tears]: oh i see thanks! :D

[SkorpionDruid]: hey hey, inverted eh? I like it! It always helps you to notice things about it. You know, you should try drawing white pencil on black paper, it's great fun.

[trodahawk]: I still like the second picture

[Phoenix Tears]: which three do you like the most?

[trodahawk]: the second one

[Phoenix Tears]: no no pick three out of all of the 6 and tell me which three you like the best

[trodahawk]: o lets see pictures 2,5,and 6

[SkorpionDruid]: The first one you must definitely use, because the perspective is FABULOUS. The fourth one is really cute, so I say use that one. And I like the last one.. but it isn't very sorrowful... but still, I'd say use the last one too.

[Phoenix Tears]: but it's for a sorrow contest! i can't use it if it isn't sorrowful!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! *runs around in a panic*

[Phoenix Tears]: well what about the fifth one? she's pretty darn sorrowful!

[MaxineDemon]: I love the last one! Could be because I think he's totally hot, but... I think you should go with that and the second one...Then I can't decide:) I like the way you mix softer shadows with black lines, it gives a dramatic look to the drawings! Good job on all of them!

[Phoenix Tears]: hee thanks so much!

[trodahawk]: Good luck tomorrow!!!

[Phoenix Tears]: hehe, thanks so much, hun! *hugs* you're such an encouragement! hehe, I highly doubt I'll even place, but it's worth a shot eh? ;D

[Phoenix Tears]: thank you all for your advice and compliments! It was very much appreciated!!!! ;D And just so, you know, my choices for the Sorrow Contest were numbers 1, 4, and 6. Thank so much again, I seriously couldn't have decide without you guys! (I'm just really bad at being able to make decisions! I just can't seem to make up my mind!) ;D
