Wow!. pastel is not easy to work with, but I guess you have conquered is here. So detailed, her skin tones are very good, the blouse or shirt is detailed. You did a fabulous job here

Very nicely done work of art. The expression on her face is very expressive and makes one wonder just what she is thinking.
You many hours of work definitely paid off with this wonderful portrait.
Very well done. Thank you for posting.

What an incredible piece of traditional art using many layers of pastel pencil. Hair, eyes lips, skin tones, her top and beautiful background. Excellent entry into this contest. Wish I had a six
for you. Well done and good luck :-)

Nice portrait of this girl the outline is not sharp as you would expect from a photo but i guess thats the effect of a drawing and it does add a nice softness in this overall so this works well...Brian

You have done a very wonderful job of creating this portrait. Composition, shades, tones, colors, and background highlight your little girl in a perfect way. Excellent conceptualization. Thank you for sharing.

This portrait artwork of the little girl is endearing!! You've done a great job with the framing, and the way the light, shadows, and colours interact is really pleasing to the eye. Keep it up! Good luck!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of a beautiful young girl. Like her eyes. Colours, textures and tones are fine. Well drawn and good luck!

Hi Janice , this is an amazing show of your talent , I have just been sitting here in awe as I study this, I am impressed , I am actually in Awe! I have zero artistic ability !
This little blonde haired girl appears to have just been given a talking too, perhaps by her mom , she does seem to be thinking about her choices moving forward!
She is so very well drawn and your attention to every detail shows here, accurate shapes , sizes and proportions, perfect choices of colors and excellent light and shading work , this little girl is brought to life here when I look at her eyes!
Very well placed within the space and the neutral background works to bring this little girl to life !
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work with us! Happy New Year!
