This photo is nice. It is clean and it gives the mind something to think about (how did he do that?) Love how it is clean, bright, sharp. Nice Job. Subject matter is a little boring and simple but execution is great! 8

Drawing Hands (tribute to M.C. Escher)
by Kroburg

Comment:
My first thought was how cool is that! But then you know I have to look closer at the photograph. I think my only stupid comment would be that your pencil is touching the outline of the other arm and the drawn arm is not touching you. (I told you it was a stupid thing) But other than that it looks nice. 7

Red, Blue, Green. Reminds me of some of those things they do to trick people! Very nice concept. Everything is laid out and is simple. 6

First Draft

hmmmmmm... This is very interesting and visually makes you think. With the lack of color you are using it makes it feel like and old photograph, however the pen is not and the paper is not and that throws me for a loop and makes the photo feel off to me. 5

Still Primative in the New Year
by colorcarnival

Comment:
Snow is very hard to photograph correctly. All I see here is a stick laying on the ground that most likely was not used to write 2013 as the numbers are thick and precise and most likely made with a finger and gone over to make it look readable. Maybe using the tree branch in action would have worked better? 3

Under Pressure

I really like this photo. the melting cranyons in the hand and driping to the table is great. You used a good color so it is bright and inviting! You also made the crayons in the background look good without them being too distracting. Good Job. 9

small talk

What's in the background? That is distracting! I am wondering how you pulled this concept off and if it meets the rules for this challenge. It is a great idea! Not sure about the black and white. It is very dull and blahhhhhh. 4

The Art of Pencil Shavings
by rockyrajan

Comment:
very cute, fun, colorful!!! Your hand must be tired from using one of those little tiny pencil sharpers! My thoughts for composition only - I might have made it cleaner and cleaned off the little tiny shavings and left the white (table) clean. Also made sure all the pencils were sharp. 7

if so, why do actions speak louder than words then?.....

I did not know what the gold think was at first but was able to make out the words and it tied it together. It does look like a toy sword though. Maybe you could have worked on it a bit to make it look real? The pen is okay. I LOVE the concept. 6

Carbon and Steel
by Janja

Comment:
Very interesting. My only negative thoughts are that you could have brushed up the pencil steel a bit. It looks dirty and I think the look you are going for is meant to look clean and out there! Also I would put a little more room for the pencil lead at the bottom. The background is slight distracting. It would have been cool to have it all nice and sharp! Overall 6
