This is simply amazing! At first glance, I couldn't tell it wasn't a photograph. You must have put a lot of work into this and it shows! You are so very talented!

Once again Linda you have created a truly remarkable work of art.

That little face is so precious and you have done a 'Heavenly' job of capturing her essence.

Your Extra-Ordinary talent is always such a Wonder to behold.

A Wonderful entry for the contest Linda and I wish you all the best in the judging ~ Steve

    Dearest Steve, you are truly a friend. Giving me a 6 star rating is so uplifting, and encouraging. I am so slothful in my drawing lately. I must get back into gear. I am drawing a picture of our Savior for Easter. I pray that He is honored.

    My Dearest Linda. I was just thinking about you the other day. How strange. As far as "Honoring our Lord", no problem. HE has Already seen it and of Course HE is Most Honored. That is why He gave You THE GIFT: To share HIMSELF with us.

What a lovely drawing...your use of light and dark is fantastic as is your shading to give depth. Her little outfit seems light and drapey and her shoes look so real. A great likeness and the table top looks really antique! Great!

Comment from Artistic Chick


What an absolutely life like drawing. I've seen old black and white photos from when I was a baby when they colorized small features like eyes, and this looks more life like than those photos. Really beautiful image.

This is such a sweet and beautiful looking child. You have really captured her well. As always, the details are incredible. The way you have drawn her makes her look like she has a glowing essence about her. That glowing essence makes me think of God's light shining through her. Well done and thanks for sharing this wonderful portrait with us. :)

I think she is beautiful Linda, and this proves once and for all that babies have always been adorable whenever they are born. Indeed a beautiful entry into a contest like this.

As always your drawing is done paying such good attention to details, and with good use of high lights. I especially like that the background is dark and the good distinctions between light and dark.

The format and framing is working so well and the baby girl is well placed on the paper. A truly lovely and well done drawing, and I wish you luck with the contest.
