Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Excellent tonal variations creating nice perspectives, highlights & shadows.
Impressive rendition of this square-jawed model with strong facial features & broad forehead.
Indeed, it looks antiquated with its yellow coloration.
Fine details.
Excellent rendering, focusing & framing.

Comment from Rose Mary S
Amazing artwork, very detailed with clear lines. You have also captured a sense of whimsical reverie. She is looking at the artist yet is a a world of her own. Beautifully done.

Wonderful technique. Like the shadows, the sharp line but soft lines in her cloths, the detail in her face. Thank you for sharing

And as always this is an amazing work. Love the facial expression, the perfect lighting, and the soft texture of the skin. The melancholic gesture and the sad eyes. Great job, superb.

Another amazing drawing. Pencil? Really? You are awesome. I'm so jealous of your talent. This model from an era gone by is stunning and you've captured her essence beautifully! She looks as if she is just being tolerant for the photographer but is daydreaming of a place she would much rather be. Well done.

Thank you for looking into my portfolio, and addressing my work. This is one of my first drawings. I remember sitting in my car on my lunch breaks at Safeway and drawing on this. I didn't know what I was doing, but I played it by ear. Somehow it all worked out. Art is magical.
Comment from HandlewithCare
Incredible.
I have been in the same exact situation as this young girl. I was 19 though....Let's just say that I ended up paying for my portfolio with "Cash"...And I was treated very unfairly after that.
This piece has so much meaning and you have caught every ounce of it . Thank you so much Linda for showing this. Every square inch is perfect....
I wish I could give you a 10...but I guess that's what the 6 is for.

Nice draw with a good articulation of lights and shadows. I like the face of the woman, disclosing a feeling of beauty, calm and internal daydream.
Well done!
