Very nice angle of presentation and composition with the movement in a diagonal direction. Excellent tonal quality and use of light and shade. Superb.

This is beautiful I bet the model loved it when it was done. Very realistic how you accomplished this with just 2 pencils I don't know. I guess I have a lot to learn. :)

Comment from Garfhub


Jesuel, I like this one better than the one I saw before. I love the subject. The shading balance of the background is much nicer. I love how the subject is leaning into the "corner" of the picture. Again, looks like watercolor. Fantastic!

I sometimes wonder if your girls are real persons? They are so beautiful and very attractive. The many details ads to the beauty, as the lights and shadows. Excellent

Beautiful work! The only thing that I can say is maybe to add a touch of red to the lips would have really made it pop. Still it is a beautiful piece of work.

This one has quite a bit more going on in the way of ruffles, flowers, lace etc. and its very much in the vein of "Carrie" in Sex in the City in one of her romantic high points. Obviously it conveys a certain sort of gothic romance novel mood in a big way. The slightly hard lines around her face suggest that she's not a novice here! Judy

Comment from Heartfelt Annie


Exquisite, jesuel! Another that I really like your background. It really lends to the subject. She's so lovely and I can see the long evening gloves. Just can't make out what she's holding. Screen's fault. I like how you added the shadow there so that you get that small feeling of the arm being away from the body a bit. Continuing it to the back really gives depth. Love the idea of her dress. That's when dresses where dresses. lol She has a lovely face and just taking in the view. Again, great job with the hair and I think that's why the background fits. The shadow of her hair blowing freely. Really a lovely drawing!! Enjoyed yet another drawings of yours. Annie
