The childhood joys of constructing macaroni jewelry are evocatively expressed, cartoon style. Not sure about the background; is is that the child’s hair, or are some other ‘toons having a cloud fight back there?

In Macbeth, act 1, scene 4, Duncan says, “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.” Well, my mind finds the face’s construction in the art. Kudos to you for using guide lines, Artist, but you should have erased them when you were done with them.

Points on style and cuteness, minus for lack of polish. I’m placing this in the mid-tier.

"Cute" is the word for it. It's a piece of pure joy, which is an emotion that becomes increasingly rare with age. To think that making a macaroni necklace as a 5-year-old was like the coolest thing ever.

Pretty distinct style, for the character's nose and eyebrows. I'm getting Steven Universe vibes here. I think my only big issue is the lack of a body. It's just a head and a pair of hands. Not even arms to connect the hands. There are also some lines that indicate there was an earlier failed attempt on the same sheet of paper, which muddies the presentation a bit.

It's abstract enough, though, that I think the writers can do a lot with it. As a writer myself, I tend to judge pic2fic art entries by how much story material you can get out of it, just to let you know.

On a side note, I'm pretty sure the artist who did this also did the other Cal Arts-esque piece.

The background is a little hard to grasp, but I'm going to go with hair, because I think what is in the top right corner of the picture is a hairclip. A doomed hairclip, but hey, it's trying its best.

I see Raisin's Steven Universe impression and raise him a Splatoon.

Artist, I think the best part of this image is how you've conveyed the emotion. The bright eyes and big mouth are great. I do think the piece could have used more detail for the macaroni necklace. It is the closest object to us but it still kind of fades to the background.

Thanks for submitting!
