Excellent pencil drawing with great skill and techniques used too
The facial structure is perfect and the hair looks very realistic
Good expression on the face
Good angle and framing of the model
Lighting is good too
A really lovely piece of artwork with a very bold statement and excellent detail too

This is a fantastic traditional art composition. I really love the way you have used lines and shading to create this awesome art composition.

I'm getting now where I can tell your pencil drawing every time. They are always well done and have an exquisite flair to them. This figure like the others show great emotion on their faces. This one says, "I'm lonely." Love the hairstyle and positioning of the head. Good shading also.

Comment from Heartfelt Annie


Wow, jesuel, this is truly a great drawing! The right eye is totally alive. With the darker background, she really stands out. Can't get over the eye. The hair is great. I always like the way you do hair. Very realistic. You also did a great job with her facial features. I see her. There's even the idea of the posture you gave her that just screams out her name. Really enjoyed viewing this drawing!! Wish I had a 6, this would have it. Really like the background for this piece. Annie

This is a very fine drawing, looks like Lauren Bacall, like the eyes, and hair. Good shading make for fine effect. The dark area looks like charcoal, very well done. Excellent piece.

Nicely done with the use of the graphite and paper for this image. Your technique has worked well and the detail is very good.

My my, but you DO have a talent. The way you drew this and then shaded it is remarkable. I couldn't do this with 3D and shade it half as well as you did. She's beautiful, regal and with that Mona Lisa look that haunts the male world. VERY well done. 6 thumbs up.
