For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Artist's Comments
This is my final for Illustration I. We had to come up with a fictional tea flavor for the Celestial Seasonings Tea company and then make a box for it using a real box as a template. My tea is called Baba Yaga's Blue Rose Tea. Baba Yaga is a russian witch who, if you couldn't tell already, flies around in a mortar using a pestle as a rudder and lives in a house on chicken legs. There was a story that the reason why she's an old witch is because she ages every time someone asks her a question, and the only way for her go grow younger is to drink a tea brewed from blue roses.

"Life is like a grapefruit...it's sort of orangy-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle. It's got pips inside too. Oh, and some people have half of one for breakfast." - Ford Prefect
My only teeny bit of criticism is that her head is too big for her body. But it works well with the overall effect of the illustration, and my hunch is that it's deliberate (am I right?). However, it is also a trend I have noticed in your work overall, so I'm curious as to your own opinion of it.
But like I said - gorgeous work, *beautiful* line quality, as always, and the the painting job is immaculate. I know *I'd* give you an A+.
Yeah... the head thing. It's just a really bad habit. However, I'm told that a good artist will know how to distort proportions of the figure (or anything else for that matter, at least i guess so) so that it looks right when it's reproduced, such as making heads bigger. I did it accidentally and you're right, it's wrong. However, in terms of the reproduction, it might actually be a good thing that I'm doing it.
And that was me validating a bad habit.
