This is great! I like your attention to the details and anatomy of the rhino. The skin texture is remarkable! Nice cole up portrait. Graying background helps to focus on the main subject. Great technique and presentation. Congratulations on your placement ð???.

Love this work, a portrait of a rhinoceros in pastels. He is so realistic. I love the details and the background. Was it done in soft pastels, pan, or other? My first work when not traveling was in oil pastels. I've bought several tools to get back to oil and hopefully soft pastels after watercolor or at the same time. You are so gifted!

An awesome entry into the contest with the portrait of the rhino in the beautiful pastel coloring. The textures you have achieved on the hide of the rhino is great .

This is an amazing piece of art work (from a distance I thought it was a photo). Incredibly detailed; which I imagine would have taken quite some time. Wonderful light and shading...I could imagine this could be a winner. All the best in the contest!

I usually don't feel competent to comment drawings and painting but I really like this one with such fantastic details when compared to rhinos that I've seen in Africa;

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that rhino. Shades and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!

Absolutely amazing fine art skills portrayed in this beautiful pastel rendering! I love your rich finite detailing, your lit beauty that defines form and shading technique that establishes dimension. Great touch of subtle iridescent tones that really brings this rhino alive.

This portrait is amazing. I am impressed by your attention to realistic detail. I can almost feel the creases of the leathery skin and the rough texture of the horns. How the skin reflects the light is intriguing. Your pastel is excellent composed and rendered. The animal is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
