The eyes draw you right in. The face is well proportioned and shaded nicely. Pencil can be hard to work with because of the smudging but i don't see that here. Well done.

well deserved. i do artwork and know how much goes into it.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Linda, the detail of your work is phenomenal and I know I've told you this already before.

The sultry feel emanating off of this canvas is palpable. The hues of sepia making it timeless.

I do have a concern tho' as this does exude sensuality, sexuality, and my concern is in the phallic symbol right beneath her chin in the dark aspect of the drawing. If you were intending on making that a mushroom then it needs to look like a mushroom, you need more detail.

It is not my intention to be rude but it is my intention to tell you how I see this, honestly and openly....and if I see it this way, how many others will?

PS....I called my husband over for this review and he agrees with me and added "especially from a distance it looks like that".

I've giving you a high mark because the artistry, the exactness of your work is professional level.

Thank you for letting me know about the phallic like appearance of the flower in my drawing. I was shocked and immediately set about altering it. I have uploaded a modified version.
