Comments:

- love how the different colors work as shadowing and light

- love the different pencil textures

- like how the colors lend emotions/characters to each person—person in the bottom right looks sad, and their color is blue

- seems like Inside Out 0.5 characters!

- the image is really strong in the small details—eyebrows, lines around mouths, lips

- directional strokes lend to the shape to the faces and how the light plays off their skin—artist did a great job conveying form and movement

- possible interpretation: almost feels like the different people represent the different stages of his life—childhood, covid, etc

- wish more of the bottle was included so it was more clear that the liquid is pouring into their mouths

- really like this picture

- beautiful

# data[].attributes.body

Comments:

- love how mysterious the sky is—you don’t know where the sea ends and sky begins

- wonder why there aren’t more of the rocks—but like it that way

- mostly empty space

- looks like it’s sinking

- just slightly off center—bothersome, so could crop a tiny bit from the side

- sky and sea blend together almost seamlessly

# data[].attributes.body
Comments:

- mountains are so cool

- the light at the top of the picture is inviting—feels interesting

- the sky is what stands out the most, especially the tiny hint of blue

- the blue here works really well, but the train made the other one stand out and added movement

Note: artist is willing to crop out the sun

Comments:

- weird metaphor but like it

- don’t love when poems directly tell us the metaphor

- on the contrary, like the “we are the frogs”

- wish there was a different start

- enjambment is off at times

- possible edit: cut the last stanza

- on the contrary, like what the last stanza brings

- or bring the last stanza to the very beginning!

- don’t love the part about growing apart—too tell not show

- “the distance between us” is confusing

Comments:

- get rid of the word “so” in the second to last line, this keeps it all consistent

- re-word third to last stanza- it doesn’t roll off the tongue as well

- possible edit: re-name poem “I think” because that would be more about the author rather than a didactic message to the reader

- could move ‘so I skulk’ section to the end

- relation of the poem to thinking isn’t quite consistent because it goes back to relating to happiness.

- could remove section about happiness or relate it to the rest of the poem
