Hello from project comment.
First of all, let me say that this is the best piece (and far ahead from all the other) I have seen in the folder (no offense to others). The balance of light and shadows in the overall picture is very well done.
I particulary love the cauldron on the front and the broomstick that you let go beyond the frame. It gives a feeling of dynamism.
I love the amount of details you have put in every object. It is cute to see witch's material/object so tidyly lined up. The shapes of the objects are very well done and cute : it would be a perfect illustration of the which's storybook.

A few things to improve would be to work a little bit more on the shadings of the second shelf (starting from the top). The frog on the first plan looks a bit frozen (not alive), maybe the shape of the legs aren't natural enough. Whereas the integration of the broom in the picture is very clever and natural, the frog does'nt come as easily in the picture. I also have the impression that you have forgotten to add black between the "dangling threads" of the dream catcher.

Overall, this is a gorgeous work, congrats, and I hope to see more from you.

A project comment review:   
This is an amazing piece of work. There is a kind of simplicity brought by the only use of the pen for the drawing and shadowing that is balanced by the details and variety of objects that you put on the shelves. The items on those shelves give the viewer a peek to a story. Even without the title, it is very clear that it belogs to a witch and at the sae time you brought originality to this cupboard by the herogenous but also harmonious items on magic theme. Very nice shading by the way, you must have quite a steady hand and it's reflected in and impressive palette of dark shadows and ligth ones. I love the effect well done pen techniques bring to pieces and you managed it very well. The fact that you made some of the drawing stand out of the frame make it more appealing and guide the eye inside the cupboard itself for a closer inspection.
If I had one thing to point out as a critic on this beautiful piece is that the books on the top right hand corner seem somewhat flat and less worked than the rest of the picture, maybe because it's the only area with a succession of parallel lines and identical shapes. Otherwise, bravo, I think that your drawing, as well as being very well done, has a lot of personality and that is what makes it very interesting.

A ProjectComment review:

This picture shows a lot of imagination. You could have just made a cupboard that's just like another cupboard, but obviously you wanted more than that. So you went above and beyond to give this cupboard its own character and not just some collection of shelves which could easily look like a selections column in some old west general store. I'm very impressed that you were able to put such a diverse array of magic ingredients and tools while still making the shelves look neat (with the exception of the cobwebs). If there were one part you could have done better it would have been your placement of the cauldron. It just looks like it was copy and pasted in there and makes the piece look flat. You could have made it work if you made the cauldron on the outside and three dimensional. You've already done that with the frog and it looks awesome, but all in all you should be proud.

I like how you used hatching and cross hatching for shading.
