Hi,

This is great.. This is very explicit, high ability of using just pencils to create and present this, on the other hand, this strongly improving an Artist Drawing Aptitude... Regardless the materials used. This must have took time of course.. Splendid piece of art indeed, my warmest compliments and thanks for sharing this here.

    Dear Bette,
    I draw my work always with prayer, constantly. The challenges I face lead me to stress levels you wouldn't believe. But the Spirit speaks to my soul, and directs me to the answers to the problems, and is faithful to stay until the last stroke of the pencil is done. Thank you for your wonderful review.

    Hello,

    Writing to thank you for your kind feedback, this is an excellent drawing behaviour, i understood, and wondering if you know what the meaning of that... The some of those drawings are always needing.. Patience, persistence, and a steel ability to achieve or accomplish a drawing.. And i think, this cannot be obtained without prayer, God bless you, and thank you again.

    Bette,

What a truly gorgeous image you've rendered. I absolutely love the pure and kind expression on her face. You've done such an amazing job of achieving such detail in fine compositional form. Gorgeous!

    Oh Channeled,
    You have always been so kind to me here. I appreciate you taking the time to look at my work and review it. I know that reviews take thought, and time, and you are the kind of artist that shares time generously. God bless you for both,
    Linda

Love the dark shading and the position here. Great job with all the shading too. Its a very haunting piece. The detail isn incredibly intricate. Like how the figure sweeps from top right to bottom left as well. Great job !

    Dear Lil,
    I always want to sweep the eyes of the viewers through the whole image. I learned that in my drawing class. Nothing worse than a flat picture. Dance, absorb, taste, and digest. Eat of the fruit of the soul. Thank you for your very insightful review.

    Oh Jan,
    If only we could live in an era where women were reveranced. Gentle women, and gentle men. Femininity. Yes, we harbor it within our souls. We women will always be that. We are so wonderful, aren't we. God just made us that way. Thank you for your wonderful review.

Comment from jgrace


This should be a six star. I admire a person that can draw people so well. This is absolutely exquisite. She looks regal and stunning. Good attention to features and form. She is wonderfully drawn and facial expressions create a connection with the viewer. She seems almost in a dreamlike state just waiting for someone to rescue her. Details in clothing and background are well done. Good design and well presented.

Comment from tamanmitu


Fine art in the drawing! You've done a spectacular job here with your talent to draw with pencil. The lines are beautiful and coupled with your choice of shading areas you've created a realistic inviting view of a beautiful maiden.

    Dear Tamanmitu,
    I want to thank you for your exquisite review. This maiden was beautiful in herself, but I am glad that I was able to capture the essence of her beauty with my pencil.

Comment from Rons Pen Art


I have missed your artwork, but the wait is well worth it my dear friend! I like every aspect of this art piece! The maiden shows an expression of love, a desire for her loved one to return and all will be well once more. The emotion on her face fancies this wait to be over soon and to express the rejoicing of love and togetherness. You draw so wonderfully and immediately offer the viewer thoughts of romance and the wonderment of love. You instill the beauty of life in your artwork, each of us can quickly identify with the subject and the mood of your artwork. Sensational piece! I like how the jewelry upon her neck is perfectly placed and her hand is seemingly reaching for it as a memory of her love for the one she misses so greatly! There is a story here and I find myself looking at every section. You have the ability to keep the viewers attention, great piece my friend! Exceptional piece, take care and god bless!

Comment from Travlin1


This is so beautifully done. It is very apparent that a lot of time went into this. The light and shadowing are perfect. The lines and shading are great. Textures abound in her dress, hair, eyes and the right hand is exquisite it reminds me of the hand of the dancer in Renior's Dancing in the Country piece. Beautifully done in every regard. Thank you for sharing this. Travlin1

This is very lovely. Your use of the pencil to capture this with all the detail is amazing. I cannot believe the detail you have been able to draw into this. Your talent is excellent.
