This is extraordinary art. I admire the refinement and level of control over your point-work. True skill is evident here and the resulting image is wonderful and endearing. Unfortunately I've run out of my six-star ratings before I found this. Nonetheless, great work.

Comment from tamanmitu


This submission shows an intricate pattern weaving artist.
The composition is great with it's fine detail that presents a true to life rendition of the subject. I love the coloring and
the light capture. The story telling features in this piece are also great. Good job.

I enjoy this picture very much. And I know what a patience is required to do this.... Composition is advised, and mouse is sympathetic. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from vivaking


What a charming drawing. I would love to know how big it is - then I may have awarded 6 stars. Yes, size is important I think. When judging a work like this which is in monotone , other considerations spring to mind. Like tonal contrasts, light and shade etc. If I have any criticism it is that there may just be one too many dots. Be careful not to let the technique get the upper hand over your interpretation of the subject. Sometimes less is more..... And there is the danger of overkill. But I am amazed at the commitment and patience. Superb rendition. Do you know Durer's work?

    Vivaking, the drawing size is 7 3/4" by 9 3/4 ". So now what does that really mean? I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder and then more importantly in the eye of the artist... I think it's just right... thank you for the thought pervoking comments, not sure how to totaly interpet them... thanks for looking and reviewing my artwork... no, on Durer's work, but I will look him up and take a look... have a good evening & cheers...
