Excellent! Lucien this is wonderful. I really like this, is this the one that you sent to me this past summer? I like your work how it leaves me to my imagination on the other half. Great job. Thank you so much for sharing this.

    Thank you for having taken the time to critique, evaluate and then write down what you thought and then send them to me, I appreciate all of your efforts in doing this on this piece of artwork.
    Have great day and cheers!

Comment from sandybronk


Love the eye and even in pencil there is life in that eye. You did a wonderful job on this image. I know it is a cat, but not your everyday house cat, It seems to have more of a lion quality or some thing big. What amazes me is that you captured all that in just the eye and nose.

Comment from StRyCh9


Wow really enjoyed this piece Lucien. The limited view one gets of your subject really communicates the intensity. I like the detail that your technique has produced.

Comment from Janrique


Another very effective one. So far I like the golden boy and the frog one the best and I think the idea of having these for sale at the exhibition is a really good one. You have certainly illustrated 'intensity' very well in this.

Comment from Highfive


Excellent drawing from an artist stand point. It has great modulation, excellent shading, which accentuates the highlight in the brow and nose. Not mention it comes cross as a real to life look. Very realistic drawing Lucien.

Comment from sidewinder


I'm guessing that's Lancaster CA. I was born in Lancaster PA so it caught my eye. Anyway, this is very good, I love the way you can see the rods in the eye (or is it the cones that are visable?...I never could keep that straight).

The white space is great and you managed to do something that I am no good at...You managed not to overwork it.
A skill I hope to master some day. Great Job.

    sidewinder,
    thanks so much for the 6 rating, I very honored by you awarding it to this piece of artwork.
    the dreaded overworked tag... I have been accused of that as well, but sometimes what others think is overworked is you really understanding what it is you are looking at and thinking, and sometimes those are just for you, and a good thing.
    Again, I want to say thanks for the time and the writing of the review, I know both take time and effort on your part and I do appreciate you doing both when you looked at this drawing.
    Happy New Year... cheers!

Comment from photoartexpressions


Strong image and really pulls you in. Looks like this "Cat?" is peering through a door. Kind of unnerving because you can really see the wildness in its eyes and wonder if you are its next meal.

Comment from lilscoupe00


Very nice I love the simplicity of this and the detail is wonderful. Very well balanced and leaves you with a bit of curiousity of the other side. Love the detail of the eye you can feel the mood created.
