"Aren't you looking blue today."
This drawing was colored with every piece of blue medium I own incorperated. Woo.

Hey there, I'm from ProjectComment and you are guaranteed a critique. So I shall begin. :D 

Upon viewing the gallery where I found your artwork, yours was the first to really catch my eye. I think, for the reason, of the color blue, as mentioned in a previous comment below. What is actually funny about all of this is that I didn't even read the title until now. xD It appears as though each of your blue mediums incorporated into your drawing is doing its job fairly well with luring in the sensitive souls, such as myself. Great job on that, haha! Now, while the blue is speaking so loudly with intent, we cannot forget the subject in the center. The bold outlines of the girl's head definitely radiates emotions, and with the support of the blue hues, the sadness vibing from her is quite overwhelming, in a way that resonates with me or anyone else who has ever been overpowered with that much emotion. I guess, what I'm trying to say is that your theme is very apparent. 

I don't feel as though I have much to say in the drawing style as I think it's not so important as the message being conveyed. Art is expression, after all. ^_^ I like how the colors gradate from the different types of blues, fading out to a sort light magenta. The strongest of colors is in the center with a softer color just at the outline, which makes it appear as if she is glowing. Her face is very symmetrical and expressive. I definitely enjoy gazing upon her almond shaped eyes, and I like that you left her eyes without any sort of pupil or highlight, as I think it supports the heavy emotion that is going on there.  And,I respect that you made a bold decision to include the thick tear drops sliding off her face, leaving no one to second guess what she is feeling. I've seen some artwork where tears are almost invisible, and the feelings being portrayed in the drawing can be misinterpreted. Good job on that. :) 

I think if there was any way to enhance your drawing, maybe a few splatters of darker blotches in the background. But, I'm really liking the way this came out. The moment I saw your drawing before clicking it, I instantly said "I like this." I like her short, wavy hair. It has a certain style of its own. If you feel that is where you want to improve, I would say, perhaps, add in some texture. A few strands of hair, here and there; a lighter or darker shade, but always keeping in mind the lighting, where it falls on the face and the hair. Since the lighting seems to fall straight onto her face, I think keeping the shaded hair on her sides (closer to the edges of her head) and leaving the lighter shades on the front would have helped with any depth. Overall, your art speaks to me. I think you did a great in speaking your message. Thanks so much for sharing, and good luck in your future endeavors. ^_^d
