Comment from Kathy Schipper Art
Absolutely precious. The detail is amazing and it is filled with love and emotion. The only thing that throws off me is the boys boots. Everything else is so detailed and they distract me a bit, but not enough to keep me from falling in love with the relationship between this sweet little boy and his kid. So cute... nice job!

Thanks Kathy. I am glad you like this. The boy's boots are furry hence its fuzzy nature but I am glad you like it all the same :) R

Comment from Sange
I just love your style Raoul! You always evoke so much emotions in your drawings as well as the poems/notes that go along with each creation.
I love the sweet boy and his pet Goat/Kid is to precious for words!
Fine details and superb skills!
Bravo!

Thanks Sange. R

Comment from Valenteana
This is a darling drawing, I am wondering why with so much detail in everything else the boots were not more detailed, kind looks a little off, and the paper at the top shows the wrinkles in the paper a little bit, but worth a few stars for the quality overall.

This is exceptional, and beautiful. You have captured my heart. You have mastered the emotions of this setting, with this little boy and his sheep. The textures are superb. Wonderful pencil work.
