I am really drawn to this piece. The beautiful young girl is crisp and stands out nicely from your background. The girl's features are proportionally correct. There is no evidence of smudging which can be a problem in pencil work. Nice job.

Thank you so much Oliver.

Comment from Marilyn J. Brown
An excellently executed drawing, Linda. The girl's tumbling, curly hair, though not coloured green for us to see, is beautifully drawn. The skin tones and the light from the candle are terrific.

Thank you for your very indepth review of my picture. I so appreciate you taking the time to let me know how you received it. I entered this picture because, although it is black and white, the title is Green. Once again, thank you.

Comment from CheriseFoster
Lovely image and, being a fan of candlelit pictures myself, I find this wonderfully attractive and a pleasure to view. Your pencil tones are excellent and this could easily be a faded old photograph. Just love it.
