1. This piece is defitely all about color and texture. the bright colors make the ribbons pop against the white paper and the orange ribbon looks like it would actually feel rough from the cross stitching.
2. The focal pts are the 2 places where the orange and the yellow ribbons almost touch
3. This piece evokes chaos but at the same time cheer, probably from the bright colors and the wandering ribbons.
4/5. My favorite part is the yellow ribbon because it looks real because of the use of shadding. but overall the use of color makes the work unique because normally i see ribbons done with graphite but this one is so much more different.
6. The ribbons need more shadding on and underneath them (as in their shadows) to give them a more realistic feeling.
7. I think if you make some changes by adding shading, it will be a quality piece. i would give it a 3 or 4.

I really like this one, especially the rich colors you used. You also have great values, so the ribbons look like they're actually twisting. There's an interesting texture on the red ribbon, too. The top looks a little empty--maybe you could add one more ribbon up there? But other than that I think it looks great.

I really like this piece and all that it has to offer. Your use of bright and vibrant colors adds pizzaz. You also did i very nice job shading certain parts of the ribbon. this piece looks realistic and is very strong.
