Comment from TabooGuru
The talent that God has given you is truly bringing Him the praise with this work of art. The innocence of a young girl, like Little Shirley Temple, is brought out in the expression you have created. It is as if God guides your drawing, not by force but by influence, knowledge, and understanding. The hair is so difficult to appear real yet here it does. Her complexion is amazingly seen even though the image is monotone. Excellent work and well worth the time.

Well, Taboo, this is such an inspiring review, that I don't know what to say. Thank you for detailing what you thought. And thank you for the 6 star rating.

Comment from trishgoody
Once again, an amazing likeness to your subject Linda.
I would say this is a classic pose of Shirley Temple as the child star, such a cherubic face with those pursed lips and sunny smile that crinkled her eyes and that wonderful head of curls toppling onto her forehead.
Your genius with the pencil is epic!
