A vintage portrait

Very lifelike and lighting / shadowing is superb. If I were to find anything that might help to improve the sketch it would be: The left eye is slightly looking upward, but doesn't look bad. While the right is looking ahead. This observation is only slightly noticeable and overall the sketch is very well done and I'd bet if compared to the original photo would be strikingly close. Very nice, and the artist has an awesome talent and skill.

I really admire how you were able to render this to totally retain the look of the old photograph. Every nuance of the B&W tones is perfection. Excellent.

Wonderful initial impact! Beautiful subject, very well drawn, amazing details very well applied, beautiful expression I love her smile, nice eyes very well detailed complete with catch lights, thick wavy hair pulled away from her face, facial structure and proportions are well presented! I am positive that this was very well received and will be treasured forever! Very impressive work!

You amaze me with your talented portraits. They are so good they look like a photo. Every feature you draw is perfect and I know it must look exactly like her. Great job. Susan

This is just downright impressive! I actually had to do a double-take to make sure it was an actual drawing. Your attention to detail is magnificent, as is your use of shadowing. Such a beautiful work of art!

This is a lovely vintage style portrait that I am certain your niece and great niece will love for years to come. Your destabilize work is so realistic. Your blending nag is perfect. She looks so happy in 5hs portrait.
