Description
There are those who wear their heart open, soft, and squishy... and those who need a shell.
For critiques: I'd love to know your impressions on the composition and mood, if you think it's delivered well, and what you got from the meaning of the piece. Anatomy/shading issues, of course. How do you feel about the mix of the acrylic shell/heart and the pencil figure? Do they complement each other in an interesting way, or do they seem too separate?

awesome piece! I love how you did the shell, i can see you put a lot of work into it, but it doesn't look over-done, and that is really great! Personally I don't think you need any class, you get obviously better with each piece, but that's me and me internal rebel that just can't stand anyone telling me what to do. The heart inside - it may not look like an anatomical heart, but the impression of a heart is really strong, and because it's such dark, lively red, it looks just spectacular in that delicate beige shell. This part is really well done and you should be proud of yourself! for the girl - the mouth covering gesture, to me it is more about not telling some secret, or after you just involuntarily told something you shouldn't, i think i'd get the "crying" more if she was covering her eyes - but then again, i think it depends greatly of the attitude of the person seeing this piece - eyes covered with a hand may come off as "facepalm", so - your choice is better 
But to the artwork - i think the woman here might benefit from a slightly darker tone, a bit of deep, dark black here and there? just a little. And the bottom right corner part.. it's empty. Why be it so empty? gimme something there... ocean waves, something.
yes, i can see how my "valuable advice" will benefit you
no no, in future i'm going to keep my "precious" comments to myself 
Great work, really!
