Another wow portrait design - it looks so real and is so accurate in all details that it is even hard to say something or just write a book about it as it is so complex- you transmitted her character perfectly -the sepia tones are really enhancing the image and the colorful magic hair decoration is the perfect detail to let this little lady stand out in perfection. Your background shading is excellent bringing t perfect depth of field , the light application is more than perfect as you let her shine like a fairy queen - fantastic detail work on everything... excellent use of space,a really attractive drawing with great initial impact, thanks for sharing

Very nicely done. I did not see the original work. The colors and tones in this are well done. There is a nice softness to the drawing. The "crown" with its stronger colors is a nice touch. Very nice details in the work. Her eyes have a bit of a haunting feel to them. Not sure I like chopping the top of her head off, but it is a minor distraction to me. Well done!

I think the addition of colors intensifies the impact. The intensity of the eyes is especially intriguing. I believe that the color amplifies the light reflection in the eyes and gives them live. The touch of red on the lips seems to make her cheeks glowing. The fairy crown emphasizes her white-blond hair.

I quite like the colored pencil work especially with how delicately and precisely it has been done. Just enough to,p take the piece out of the ordinary. Of course, the overall rendering is impeccable and exudes the immense character of the subject. Well done!

    Thank you Seshadri. This was pre-death. I don't know where my art will go from here.

Oh Linda, your is artwork is so amazing. You are so incredibly gifted (a gift from God). This pencil drawing of a child is just beautiful. The colouring is so delicate and in tune with the innocence of a child. Light and shading is excellent and the touch of colour gives it extra impact. Well done!
