My entry:ONE WEEK REMINDER: The Illuminated World ContestStock & Resources
The Challenge
Imagine a world where the soft glow of the magnolia blossoms illuminates the sidewalk. The reaching branches of the tree cast their light over the street, reflected in the gathering puddles of a spring rain. A garden nearby is a riot of colors against the deep shadows of the night. The harsh artificial street lights that we know today are gone. What would your world look like? Is it a world where the need for fossil fuel has been eliminated, or have the scientists bio-engineered the earth into a beautiful apocalypse?
The idea of bio-luminescent plant illumination is a real project in progress by three scientists in San Francisco, California. These scientists are engineering marine bio-luminous bacterial DNA into plants to make them glow. You can read more about their project here: Glowing Plants: Street Lig

I like this piece for three very noticeable but keen features: The light of the leaves, the hair and shape of the face.
Though the background is hard to understand, took my awhile, and the foreground seems off. The nose, I'll be brutally honest, does not fix on that face(far to rounded at the end and its a bit over sized)
The hair is wonderful, and the eyes are kind but sinister in a way. Its a very mysterious piece, and I mean that in a good way.
The woman reminds me of a witch for some unknown reason but... I don't think Witches are all evil.

I think you could have used a bit more neat lines in this drawing, the features I think are a but more distorted then you intended. I enjoyed how you used value, though, and I understand that must have been difficult. I also admired how you made certain leaves in the tree "glow" and I think it looks nice against the dark sky. I think the background is also an interesting touch to the drawing. Your title matches the drawing very nicely because the illuminated leaves stand out the most to me. The woman's face looks lovely but I think you could have taken a bit more time on her. This is very beautiful all in all ^-^

I love the spooky atmosphere here, and the glowing eye makes it even more wonderfully creepy.

I don't agree with the critique about the nose...her features all look spot on to me.
I think the adage of beauty being in the eye of the beholder holds true here...

Creepy but beautiful at the same time. I really like the shapes of the silhouettes and how you chose the some of the leaves and the eyes to be illuminated.
