clay giraffe

Ok, I'm no expert, you know that haha but I'll give my opinion.

I feel like the roudness and circularity of it, gives it an extremely gentle and childlike essence. It makes the figure seem comforting and reminiscent of a youthful naivete.

On the other hand, when you focus on the color, the inconsistency and unevenness provides a stark contrast. It looks unpredictable and it's almost as if it was colored haphazardly. Overall, imperfect.

But, I feel like THAT is exactly what makes this so appealing.
It gives off a bittersweet yet innocent tone.

Now I'll try giving some constructive criticism, feel free to ignore it if you don't agree.

Although the roundness makes it cute, I feel like the neck is a bit awkwardly plump. The blue bottle thing in the background distracts from your art, so it might help the overall impact if you clear out the area a little more before taking a picture.

As for the title... hmm.. it just doesn't do your artwork justice... even if this wasn't something that you put an exceptional amount of thought into, maybe you could relate the title to what idea you might associate the finished product with, or what you were feeling/thinking before-hand that made you want to start trying this out in the first place.

Overall, it's really good, especially when you consider that you don't usually use clay. Nice job <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
