Description

This is just an emotional practice piece. No, she is not committing suicide or anything, it's supposed to be theoretical. Like she's waiting for the impact of her emotions to arrive.

Anyways past that, I really enjoyed drawing this piece <3
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Woo~ My. Very. First. Critique.+
Had to do one sometime. >w<

What I like about this:
-I like the thin lines on the legs/paws and then the sudden, thicker lines.
-The back legs and the front right legs look correct in anatomy, as well as all the paws.
-I like the shading you have, it gives an affect of fur on Ciel.
-The kitty ish fluffy <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/> (Random X3)

Cons:
-One thing that is really bothering me is the front left leg. I'm NOT SURE, but I THINK it needs to bend the other way. BUT I'M NOT SURE D: I still need to study anatomy.
-The fur looks okay but if she's "falling" I think the fur should be... more fluffed out or something, give the fur the look that will make the character look more like she's falling rather than floating. Though the direction of the tears keep me from thinking that. XD But when you're falling, the wind is pushing up and your hair/fur would go the same direction. I just don't see much movement in the fur.

This isn't all that original, for many artists have drawn cats in this position, but I'll have to say it's a first to see "Waiting for the Impact" as Impact meaning the "Impact of emotions." Usually they're just falling into a black bottom because of depression, not waiting for their feelings to come.

I really like your technique, your anatomy looks rather correct as far as I know.

Impact... When I see this, I get a feeling of sadness, for the character looks sad. The colors in the background set this feeling into place.

I think it's really well drawn in other words. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/> Keep up the good work. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m…" width="15" height="15" alt=":meow:" title="Meow :3"/>
