This is amazing to view! Very well created, realistic Perfect details throughout! It looks like an old photograph, I can see this placed inside of an antique oval picture frame . I love her hair, her pose, facial detail and expression, wardrobe and I must say, I am in awe at how beautiful this is presented! Best to you in the contest!

When I first laid eyes on this marvelous drawing I would have sworn an oath that it was maybe a turn of the last century Daguerreotype or perhaps a Tintype. When I read the notes I couldn't believe that this was indeed a drawing.
This is masterful to the nth degree. I mean look at her eyes - mesmerizingly beautiful.
What really 'floats my boat' about this piece is the soft realism you have drawn. It is almost 3D.
I am still so overwhelmed by the artistry of this piece.
If this doesn't win, the you got robbed.
Wish I had a spare 6, this is deserving of that an a whole lot more ... B-)) Bob

You re-created the style of the late 1800's and early 1900's and the style of Charles Dana Gibson exactly and intriguing. The proportions and shading are exact. The lighting and the coloring deepens the impression of an old drawing. The tall format is adequate, but I find the framing too tight. It is irritating for me that her hair is cut of on top.

You did such an exquisite job of drawing this it look real! Love the detail shown in the white fabric. The folds of material were beautifully drawn. The styled hair is perfect for the time and beautifully drawn to. I think the time and effort you put into the details was well spent. I don't think you missed a thing. That's what made this image seem as a real photograph. Very Deserving of a six star review. Good Luck in the April Open Challenge. :o) Helvi

Comment from Stringbean
A beautiful vintage drawing of the Gibson Girls. I like the vintage and classic look to this drawing. Beautifully created in graphite pencil. A wonderful sketch and incredible details with shading and blending with graphite. You play with light and shadows brings this art work to life. Gorgeous facial features with good facial and body proportions. So realistic and I like that you kept her hair, clothes, the way she poses so accurate for the time. A creative and talented art work. Thanks for sharing! A good entry into the APRIL 2018 OPEN CHALLENGE and good luck.

This is an amazing pencil drawing of a lovely young woman. Her clothing and hair have amazing detail. She is drawn with precision and care. Love the expression on her face as she seems shy but a bit devilish. Great work. Good luck in the challenge.
