This is really good drawing. The composition is quite complex. Like previous work, I like your shadowing technique which creates strong contrast hence drama.
To me, the image appears to a bit blur. Otherwise, the drawing is so good with a great details.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Yasue. I believe the blur's due to my shaky hands when scanning this. Thanks for the review! R

That now is interesting. Ovid in the 21 century. You did a exquisite adaptation of the old story. While Echo looks lovingly at Narcissus; Narcissus stars at his image in the glass. But here comes something new in. Narcissus has an almost angry face, and the image in the glass is not quite the young Narcissus, but an altered image. It seems older in years and bald. Now that is interesting and a quite unique interpretation which reminds a bit of Dorian Gray.
You are an very talented artist!

You are very talented and quite creative as evidenced in this piece. I like the subject and I do feel I am on a train with these two with the hind of passengers in the background. Good understanding and application of the medium. Very enjoyable viewing! Jean

Comment from Sessybon
A great drawing with so much detail and texture. I love the coquettish look on the face of Echo while the vain Narcissus looks at himself. I'm not sure the photograph does the picture credit.

Comment from rjfotos
Very nice work. A lot of interesting shadows and high-lights. Good reflection of the hands, but it seems like there should have been a little more detail of the face. Nice framing and balance.
