I did not know you drew! That's lovely!

I recognized the reference immediately! Lovely.

Interesting how changing the gender of the participants changes the overall tenor/message of the image for me. I reacted negatively to the original poster because I'm so tired of seeing women with this commercialized, mouth-open, sexualized expression--you know what I mean--and yet, take away that context, that anger, and add the "experiment," and it strikes me as such a tender moment.

There are hearts. You put hearts in there.

Oooh, I didn't notice the hearts at first! So lovely, and such a sweet moment. It makes me want to know the story around the image.

Just LOOK at those rosy cheeks! I want to squeeze them! <3 And yes, the hearts--adorable, darlin. :D

Very nicely done. I like the colours you chose and the shading is perfect.

There's such a sweet and trusting innocence to this… I find it very touching.
