Again with the pencil! I stand (well actually I'm sitting) in awe. I really love the art nouveau feel of it. The sweep of the figure is delightfully feminine. The slight hint of color adds brilliantly. Super, super job. Cheers, James.

Hello Linda
Nice initial impact. I like the way the light hits her back. Soft darkness as you enter from the right and then becoming stronger as you enter right to left.
Her hair is nicely done and I like the one stray strand dangling down. The skin colors are natural and well done. Her neck is thin and looks well proportioned.
Her robe is positioned in a natural position and the folds are well defined. I don't miss the absence of her face. I feel like I know her from what I see. And the black background is perfect.
The image as a whole sends a strong message about what she is doing and I like the story. You have done well here.

Wonderfully done - I never tire of looking at what you can do with a pencil. WOW. Sometimes I find it unbelievable, but that's only because I can't fathom my own hand producing such beauty and emotion. The soft technique throughout the image supports your story in a perfectly fantastic way. Light and shadow are expertly done. Thanks for sharing another incredible image. Good luck in the contest.
Out of sixes... this is definitely worthy of one...

Love it. Your pencil work is phenomenal. The composition is, as always in your, near perfect. Shading, curves, light blend together to make this a very worthwhile piece of art.
