Judge What do you think of the work?
Write about the success of this work, explain.
(3-5 sentences)This work didnt really entice me in the least to be honest. The eye
coloring looked very lazy and didnt really blend with the rest of the piece. This goes
for the wound and lips as well. They looks really just slapped on and Didnt entirely
blend. I do however understand the message and where they were getting at while making
this.
