I like the depth in this picture and that the spider is the center of attention but not dead center in the middle of the paper. It's also a nice touch that the spiders highlights are brighter than the background highlights.

    So Why the low rate when you are praising my work?You must be new here. We don?t give low ratings as they wipe out sixes that people get despite what the rules say. When you do give a low rate there must be a reason for it. So please explain for my understanding?

The off-center placement of the subject is well done. The spider is life-like and cute, as only jumping spiders are. When I was a kid, these were the only spiders I didn't kill when found in the house.

Excellent details on your itty bitty spider! I like how you have shown his hairiness and many eyes. He is well seen against the leafy background with wonderful details. Great work, best wishes for the contest!

I love the spider and the setting you chose to put him in. Those curved leaves add a lot of interest to the image. You did a nice job of placing your spider in the image. The angular position of the spider gives us a head on and side approach look. He looks like he belongs where you placed him. Nice detail with your charcoal pencils too! Wishing you luck in the Contest! :o) helvi

Great job showing the cute little jumping spider against the leaves which are also drawn well showing the texture and veins nicely. Like the way you have filled the frame with numerous leaves.

Usually Spiders are not cute, but this one seems to smile at us. Apparently, the little guy likes the attention. Your drawing could make a nice book illustration which children and their families would enjoy. Your drawing is excellently rendered. I appreciate your attention to realistic detail and textures. Proportions and perspective are correct. The drawing is well composed. The Spider is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

    Wow thank you so much. I am so happy you like it. I?ve always wanted to try to do a child?s book. I?ve just never got around to it. It would be fun to create a book.

    Thank you again for your wonderful review.

This is a very well sketched art piece. The leaves accentuate your tiny weenie spider to perfection. The leaf arrangements are intriguing and everly thought out. Your spider is quite cute. I like spiders and this one is fairly accurate. A good entry... good luck

I do like your spider and most of your drawing with the patterns and charcoal pencils is really nice. The spider does pop some against the lighter pencil work but that fine work may slightly overwhelm it. Best wishes in the contest.

    I did like it. Really nice. It could pop more and might rank a "6". Unique, I think.
