Excellent portrait of the beautiful Ava, Linda. You've captured her lovely smile very well and shown the difference between the various textures of hair, skin and clothing with great skill.

Great use of light and shade. Excellent composition. Suzanne

Comment from marcoartist


This is a lovely piece of art. Has good strong darks against the face and side of her head and right arm. A good likeness of Ava Gardner.
I am curious about what media you used. Looks like pencil, charcoal and maybe watercolor.

This is s beautiful graphite sketch. Her hair looks amazing, and the face looks almost photo realistic. You always do a great job on smooth skin! I always love the softness of your drawings. Looks great!

Comment from JenFeden


great job on the image. The lighting and shading with the grey-scale is breathtaking. The touches of wispy movements in her hair and the neck area gives so much life to the picture simple because they are those tiny human imperfections.

Wow I wish I had a six to give you for this one. It is hard to believe this isn't a photo. So realistic. The eyes are wonderful. Really fantastic work.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


Another of your wonderful portrait designs - striking as always in perfection, looking like a photograph - I am sure there is no difference between the model and your work - amazing contrast and light application enhancing this lovely face

your detail work is beyond perfection always bringing the most fine details out of face , hair style - clothing and background - I love the light in the background so well placed that the entire image shines
a great expressive portrait design , well framed, well done, thanks for sharing

    Regina, there is hardly a way, in which I can thank you properly for this most glorious review. Your encouragement lifts me up, and causes me to want to continue to produce art. My deepest desire is to draw from the depths of my soul, and place on canvas the emotions of the spirit.

    you are more than welcome and I think you are a soul painter with all the light you always place so well in your portraits - awesome, have nice week
Comment from Life is but a dream.


Linda, you find beauty everywhere in every face, in everything you draw.

This is a realistic rendition of a dark haired woman who oozes feminine charm.

I do find the harsh light on her face "hollywood-ish" and miss the lack of detail. I suppose in photography we would say it has a brushed appearance and what beauty queen does not wish to be flawless whether drawn or photographed.

    Great review. I thank you so much for your insight, and detail.
Comment from PeglegDeb


Well you are a most amazing artist Linda. I was sure this was a photo when I first looked. You are incredibly talented!

Her face is perfect. Wow...all that w/ a graphite pencil. Amazing. Your use of shadows and shading...well just wonderful. Am wondering if it's my screen though or Far though that has her bathing suit top so bright...I would say over-exposed if it were a photo.

Best of luck in the contest....this is a really fine job.

Deborah
