Your work with negative space is great, especially in #2, 9, and 10. I love the brightness of #2 so much! I feel that #5 is lovely but would be a bit more effective if the subject were scaled down and the face had a bit more contrast, so it stands apart from the orange background.

Regarding #4, the background is a little busy, IMO. I feel a more empty space would highlight the subject better.

I really enjoy the coloring in #6, but the crop is a bit strange to me so that the face looks very scrunched. I think if it were shifted over so that you see the rest of Julie Bowen's face, it might be a better crop choice though, of course, it would also definitely be more conventional.

#1 has such a great blend and such great color. I totally enjoy that piece!

Overall, your work is great, so keep it up!

I looooove icon number 9. The background is awesome. If I had one suggestion it would maybe be to play around about with more contrast.

Which fonts did you use on the last one? It looks fab! ♥

I just loved the background in 4! would like to know where to you get it from.

and would you make House, MD icons? just wondering :)

i love the brightness of these

maybe check the contrast sometimes, like in 1 the guy's white shirt is so white it's almost nonexistent

the cutting around the hair in 5 looks bad, when using a contrasting background the cut needs to be perfect

icon 6 needs sharpening

I think more contrast is needed for some of these. They are all great but with contrast I think it would be better

First of all I wanna say that #9 and #10 own my heart! They are brilliant!

I agree that you should play with contrast more. In #5, #6 and #7, for example.
I think that the edges of the subject should've been just a bit blurred in #5.
Aaaand #2 is just a bit too green for my taste.

i like your coloring but its abit too yellow
youre really creative just the cutting needs some work :D

#9 and #10 are just gorgeousss. The bright coloring is great and I love the motion effect on Florence. Your negative space work is fab.

#2 is cool, except the subject is just a tad too yellow in the face.

I can't tell who the girl in #4 is and the background is too busy, making her blend in.

The person in #5 was just cut out poorly, but that might be fixable by blurring the edges.

Some of your icons could use a bit more contrast as well, such as #3, #5, and #8.

Let's start with the good - coloring in 2 and 9 is amazing.
4 is just perfect, nothing to add.
3 is so funny and cute, good monochrome.

5 has a problem of sharp edges, and too blank of a background - Blurring tool on the edges of the cut out will work wonders, and a slight gradient in the background will levitate this!
6 is a bit dull, doesn't look like the image has been processed in any way :(
The crop in 7 is not very interesting, the icon needs either more interesting positioning or more processing and a change of background.

I very much like icons #9 and #10. The repetitive shadowing on #10 is very neat and well done.

#5 is quite simple, yet lovely. The colouring is just fantastic. All your colouring is beautiful, but it really shows on #5.

#8 seems a bit blurry to me but otherwise okay.

I love your icons. Your use of textures and negative space is amazing. I adore your cropping in 6. (also, that is just an ultra adorable icon in general) Great work!
