Uhg, I am going to try to give a good critique but it is not my strong point at all.
This picture is amazing. Especially when you get up close and look at it. I would love to see it in person. I think that the strongest point you have here is the female, though both forms look very nice. Even though it may seem like a very small detail, the darker orange line around the woman's face really makes it pop. I love the fact that you used pencil and what looks to be watercolor. Great choice of mixed media. The fact that you cut out the flowers and laid them on top of the picture also adds to the piece as a whole. Though, in saying this, the skeletal face on the other side seems a bit lacking. It is darker so it does not draw the eye as much as the other figure. While you have the flowers and colored hair on the female side, the other side has hardly anything. I feel that you want the eye to be drawn to her first, and the skeletal face second, which is all very good. I wouldn't try to add anymore to the dark side at this point, it would take away from the piece you have. Now, the originality is lowered because you have done something like this before, as I pointed out in the comment section. This one is different, but at the same time it is similarly structured. I also left the impact low because I do not know what the story of the picture is. I do not know if it is making the right impact that you want it to. Again, as I said in that comment, it makes me feel like this picture is representing you and someone who you were with for a long time, you just have grown up and are seeing things at a different perspective, since their layout is the same. Your technique is wonderful. All of your shades and shadows run smoothly. And the colors work because they are not to strong but are still there. The light source you have used on the woman is wonderful. All in all, you have done a great job on this work. I see much improvement in this, and I hope to keep seeing improvement from you. If you keep this up, you will really go far. c:
