Deviousness `ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader. We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More

The piece is very well drawn and colour and as a scan it is very hard to tell that it is coloured in pencil. With only the mirrors being the only obvious part of the picture that you can see the coloured pencil. The detail of the piece is fantastic, it must have taken a long time to draw with pen and pencils. Shading and that well is very hard to do, although you may see pictures like this drawn with Digital medium, it is a lot easier to colour and do effects, with traditional art it is much harder to correct mistakes or to change something.
The only critisms I do have is that the arms and hands do seem rather small compared to the head, although it is being picky. The white space in the bottom left hand corner does seem to be a little overpowering compared to the rest of the picture, it does feel like it should be a different shade (although I can see that it does off being a different shade, so it may be the scan of the picture) or covered with flowers or ribbons just to mute it a little.
One problem with drawing bishojou characters is trying to make them different so it does not feel like you have seen a similar picture before, although the artwork is fantastic it does feel you are looking through an art book of Sailor Moon or similar series.
The love and commitment in their work does shine through. Personally I do find it hard to believe that the artist has improved very much over the last three years and that they are 16 (just). I think if the artist keeps drawing and does improve then they do have a bright future ahead of them.
