This portrait is amazing. The attention to detail, especially in the hair, is excellent. The eyes are also very well done, and she has a brightness and joyful personality that is portrayed through your brush. Your friend will be very flattered. Beautiful job.

What a wonderful tribute to an extraordinary lady. The power of the spirit cannot be overwhelmed when one decides they will not be stopped from fulfilling their ultimate purpose.

This is a softly yet dramatic portrait that has wonderful detail. The facial features are realistic and gives her such a good look.

A great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the contest ~ Steve

A beautiful lady in every regard and an excellent portrait of her. Her smile is captivating and the doctor's smock hints broadly at her profession. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you so much

Comment from Browncat
This woman has so much vitality in her eyes that the viewer wants to meet her in person! A beautiful portrait for a great cause. The background color you chose, and her neutral jacket, really highlight her face and hair. She should be delighted with your drawing. The rest of us are!

Excellent entry for the contest, Carina. Beautiful portrait painted in pastels, showing this talented Doctor. I'm sure you captured her lovely disposition with her expression and beautiful smile. Excellent use of colours and blending of pastels. I like how you've shown the different textures of hair, skin and clothing. Lovely light in her eyes, too. The dark blue background works perfectly. Best of luck in the contest. Suzanne
