The texture of the water color background is really visually interesting. The large octopus stands out as the main subject with its size, but also because it contrasts with smaller, more detailed elements. The piece has a good sense of rhythm with circular and spiky shapes that make it feel cohesive.

The mark making and fine details create intricacy within your work, and the addition of red areas in the artwork adds emphasis to those areas and a pop of color that makes it more interesting. This causes the viewer to scan the entire art piece and really take their time looking at it due to all of the intricate details.

The waved lines of the ovals and the smaller circles surrounding them reminds me of red and white blood cells.

I like how you used the black ink to show the shadows, it shows a really nice sense of contrast from the bright white for the negative space tree.

This artwork has an amazing dynamic created by the highly detailed lines of the sea creature against the bold, flowing cool tones.

The values and patterns of each animal are spectacular and the main focus (the octopus) being on the left side of the page instead of in the middle is very innovative.

The artist masterfully employs stippling and hatching techniques to create a compelling contrast and depth within the intricate details of the main piece and background.

This piece has a lot of depth, and the designs of the zentangle are very detailed, but they still manage to overlap. The colors are placed in an effective fashion where it looks like organisms/cells.

I like the different sizes of the circles inside the tentacles. They showcase that the piece is not flat, and also the varying degrees of shading help with depth.

I like how you used blue in the background, it suits the black sharpie. I also liked how you textured the dirt.

The entry point to your art piece is where all the tentacles meet, allowing the reader to follow the tentacles outwards towards the rest of the artpiece.

This artwork is insanely good. The composition is really really well done and everything feels like it fits into place. No part of this feels the same or like it’s taking up too much space. The contrast between the black and red also makes every part of this art pop. I really love monochromatic color schemes. You did a good job on this and I hope you know that.

This piece of artwork really drew my attention as the contrast between the various tones of red against black and white background causes the color to boldly pop, and draws focus to details within each red shaded area.

The colors you chose collab well with the pattern of your art. The small details add a visual hook which makes the art look 3D.
