Description This is from...August 2014? My contribution to Cafe-Sweetheart-AB , the pastry I chose was meringue. I tend to eat these in bunches so I drew a family. I had a comic regarding the situation illustrated, but I didn't had the time nor the necessary pages in the book.

Truthfully, I'm not too excited for the result (hence I didn't upload it until now) but the background was a lot of fun. ^^ You can see the background without characters here

Please critique, thank you!

I really love this picture! I already loved it when I saw it on tumblr hohoho~
I think what I like most is what's going on. The picture tells a small story and you can perfectly see the personalities of all the characters involved in it.
Lately I started prefering such pictures over symbolic ones, if you get what I mean. XD
And I also love the clothes and the setting! I love old houses like this. They give you that cozy,Β  middleage feeling. XD

Ah yes, a story behind the pic gives it meaning and purpose, even.
Thank you!!

This is really nice! I love the characters and how each one of them seems to have a lot of personality!! (especially the kid eating off the floor LOL that's really cute ((though she should not be doing that lol!!))
As far as a critique goes, I mainly don'tΒ  like the angle of the picture floor-wise. It seems tilted too far back and it kinda makes the center of gravity confusing. (I feel like they'd be falling backwards) And perhaps you should've added a bit more hues to the picture? So much brown can be a little boring. It doesn't look that bad but nothing really pops in the picture? Also I don't like the chair and table, the brown mixes in too much with the floor and you have to look a bit more to find its edges. Those would be my negative critiques. But there's a good side too! I also really want to compliment you, again, on the characters and their expressions!! I really love them! I think the egg-yolk splat was done really well, it looks beautiful. And last but not least their poses are fantastic!!! <33 I love how there's a sense of movement!! And the hair shading is really good.
ANYWAYS I'm rambling, so I'll stop now. Hopefully that helped you a little bit though? (if you can make sense of all of that lol) xD

Thank you SOOOO much for your critique, it's really good and fair, I agree with everything you pointed out.Β 

A little secret between us LOL I drew the floor first and then decided on the perspective, so the floor lacks the perspective of the rest of the picture. I liked it too much to get rid of it, haha...

I really, really appreciate the time you've taken to write me a critique, they're so rare but helpful ;____; thank you very much!!

No problem!!
LOOL I know how that feels. I'd be hesitant to erase it too, it looks wonderful. I really liked the textures!
Are critiques really that rare? O: I didn't think they would be. But I'm glad I could be of help!

Haha thanks! I used to draw countless of chibies before trying other styles, so drawing children has been the easiest for me because they're like chibies

I'm happy I'm able to inspire you, keep up the great work!

Sorry, I don't. I suggest learning the differences between an adult face and a child one... Proportions to its core, basically. Then comes your styling, which is achieved noy, with personal approach. Or at least in my opinion.
