Cool,Linda!
While I'm not all that much into the type of stories that this fine image illustrates,I'm enjoying the drawing an awful lot! :)
It's totally impressive and it's a lot of fun to view!

A tender moment. I like how you've drawn everything, but most especially their hairs. Their outfit's details are pretty defined and well thought. A romantic scene and is surely a scene with a story to tell. Drawn with utmost expertise.

WOW!!! I was going to enter this contest myself but i couldn't even compare to this! every detail here has been so meticulously drawn to such a standard that if someone told me this was a very old photo i would belive them without question. the princess rightfully so is so pretty and both of they're hair has wonderful detail. i hope someday to be able to draw like this to! massive well done and good luck!

I'm amazed this is a drawing; her expression is so life-like I thought it was a photograph. I love the whimsical composition, especially the passionate expression on his face and the vine of flowers that makes it look like the flowers are floating. The level of detail is amazing.

Comment from skyborne


Beautiful drawing! The composition is full and effective, the detail is wonderful, the subject is captivating. I'd have tried to deepen the value scale a bit, but in this case that's a matter of taste.

    Sky, thank you for the wonderful review. I would like to know a bit more about what you mean about the value scale. Thank you.

    I would strengthen the shadows a little myself but that's a matter of taste, and nothing that would affect rating
Comment from Mamafogs


The five is for her face alone. I like The interaction you have captured here between your subjects. The attention to detail in the fold and falls of the clothing is great. You lose me just to the left side about where her waist falls. You could crop that section off, by doing so would strengthen the focal point on their faces.

    Her wrist doesn't fall, It is resting on her waist. Please explain.
reply by Mamafogs on 30-Nov-2014
    Sorry I wrote waist not wrist. If you take a white sheet or black of paper and place in front of your drawing from the left (cropping) and stop just to the left of her folded hands you will see a stronger image. The area in question is what some would call fluff and fill or dead space the drawing can stand stronger without it. I hope this clarifies what I meant to you it is a suggestion that is all.
