I wish I had more stars to give you. I just love the detail work you do. The wavy hair, his expression, the wrinkles in his shirt sleeve all excellent. Your drawings to me look like photographs. I have to keep looking at them closely to convince myself they are not. As always wonderful, superb job! Can't wait for the next one.

    You are welcome. You don't realize how much it amazes me the details in your art. To take a blank canvas and create art that is so lifelike.

Magnificent work, not only your considerable talents, but in the story as well. I was interested in the significance of the bottle till I read your notes. The emotion you have captured here is so deep and captivating it transforms the work to a higher level. Exquisite. Thanks

Despite the lack of strong contrast being evident, at least in the image I am viewing, I like this creation quite a lot. Why? Because its message is subtle and hidden behind a liquor bottle, so that when a judgmental person, as most persons tend to be unless they learn better from the school of hard knocks, see this work they think: ¨Wow, what is that silly woman doing in portraying a drunken angel?¨Then after viewing and realizing they now have egg all over their face, they will turn away from the image thinking, ¨Gee, that Linda is one subtle artista!¨ I really her spirit! :) very effective drawing, eh?

    Oliver, what do you mean by lack of strong contrast? I would love for you to explain. I love your insight about the intension and purpose of this drawing. It was just a thought that I put into my art. An angel getting his orders from God like a message in a bottle. I appreciated your review, but I don't understand about the contrast.
reply by OLIVER23 on 08-Oct-2014
    Okay, you make a valid point and here is how I would respond: your blacks aren´t black enough, i.e. they need to be black as coal, black as a pitch dark night. I am sorry Linda, but I don´t see any pitch darkness in this work... if that is because of the quality of the photograph you made, then I would suggest you make another photograph that has more contrast in it. Does that make sense or do you think I´m just whistling Dixie?

Brilliantly drawn. I can feel his pathos! I like the light and shadow effect. The delineation and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

How do you consistently produce masterpieces? ...meaningful masterpieces? This work is brilliant, expressive, and well executed.

I love his expression. It seems that he really need to get that assignment done. If an angel is to be assigned to me, I wonder how people will react. Just curious.

    I just use regular sketching paper. I can't remember the brand name. I am almost out of paper, so I don't have the cover of the tablet. Thank you for your wonderful review.
