Portrait of a baby

Lovely! Beautiful emotion! It just glows and you can't help but smile back at such a sweet face. The proportions are spot on, and the textures with both the skin and the fabric are wonderful. If I had to name something I'd like more, it would be a little more contrast. The darks are perfect, with a nice variety, but more lights among all the mid tones would add more depth. But that's a tiny thing, it's just stunning, really. I love it!

You are an amazingly gifted artist. I can't draw a straight line. And you continue to create such wonderful works. The detail is fantastic. The smile so natural. Bless you and your work. Good luck.

Nice work. Good lines and form. I know babies have big heads and it shows in this photo. Good smile. Like the expression. Pretty realistic look. Good clarity. Thanks for sharing.

    You know that babies have big heads, and it really shows in this one. Wow. I don't know how to respond to a comment like this one. You seem to always find fault. Is it just me?

    It was just and observation. It sort of looked like a caricature w/ the big head. Yes, this time I think it is you.

This is a beautiful drawing of this child and I'm sure a wonderful gift your friend will have. It is very lifelike and
Wonderfully shaded with perfectly placed shadows.
What a beautiful smile and expression you had given this work.
Great talent.

I just love the joyous expression captured on Julian's face! I don't know what medium this is but the presentation is just beautiful. I know your friend must have been thrilled...I would be to get such a wonderful gift.

Comment from ArtistCarl


Well, every time I view the photos and art section I stop at this one. I have been reluctant to say anything until now because I just couldn't make up my mind. It is a beautiful and charming drawing eliciting a smile every time I see it. While the face looks a little to white for the rest of the drawing I have decided that it enhances the charm and joy presented in this drawing. Reasons for my five vote.
