A beautiful alluring drawing. Nice pose, Nice technique, good shadings and mood. Dark BG seperates well.

    Thank you. I notice that your pen name is Shadopups. I believe that this means you put a lot of importance with shadows. That is my forte'. I draw counting on the shadows of a subject.

    Actually the name shadopups name is in memory of my shepherd dog Shado. I enjoyed viewing your other work. Your women are quite alluring and provocative and your men are dark and brooding like Heathcliff. I can see why the use of shadows appeal to you in your art.

    Bret, you take it to oils. You can do it. I want you to. Thank you for the 6 stars. Faithful friend.

    I can't rework something already perfect. My point was only that in oil it would have the magic of old masters. Meant no dissregard to you favourite medium, for you absolutely excel in it. Maybe the only way to improve this piece is light hint of coloured pencils leyer, which would make it look as an old photo, on which the time took it's toll on fading out the colours.

    Do you think I should try colored pencils.
reply by Bretislav on 22-Sep-2014
    I'd love you to try. I'm sure you'd find it rewarding

Comment from Alveria


Wonderful work Linda. She looks as though someone else is in the room and she feels total abandonment. :) (my imagination) Her facial expression seems very loving to me. Beautiful young woman and dress. Very nice composition with great visual impact. ~Alveria

Comment from Barb Baker


Linda, I absolutely love all of your artwork..
How can I not give you six stars on this one? I love your style of drawing and especially your shading technique. This is a masterpiece in my minds eye. She is just gorgeous..Love, love love it!!I feel so relaxed looking at it. She looks like she is daydreaming about something. Most likely her love from afar.
I feel like I would never get tired of viewing this.
Thank you for that privilege.
Barb
