Feet! I must comment on the feet! As in most excellent. Subtle texture, and a great pose. Overall the lines across the posture are wonderful and move very nicely.

Thank you! Feet are my favourite, when I can get them right. XD

My fave bits are the placement of the blush and the way he seems to be doing that rub/scratch at his cheek that you do when you're more asleep than awake but have an itch. It makes it very innocent seeming.

Another thing, because it'd come across as bitchy if I put it in the other post: (this is personal preference stuff, I don't think there is anything technically BETTER, so don't worry on that front) I find that the warmer, more saturated skin tones you're experimenting with work better when the majority of the background is darker/deeper in tone. Watson-in-bed (again PERSONAL PREFERENCE) pops a bit too much, there is a kind of discontinuity between him and the bedclothes. Um, if you wanted to experiment more with unifying it I guess you could try doing something like using a brown for your line-work and maybe utilizing it a bit in the bed as well; or even adding a light source that colors both of them, either muting the orange or warming/coloring the bedsheets a little. But looking back at it I do really like the way you echo the skin tones in the orange of the background.

But dw I'll stop wasting your time now. ♥

Thanks for the crit! I was actually thinking something similar about the unity of the piece as a whole. I felt like Watson's orange skintone might have been a bit much for the color of the sheets, but a solution kind of messed up the work I'd already done, so I left it as-is. XD
