Hi FPPP, Love the way you saw this scene in your head. From the tiny cub to what surrounds it is just awesome. Your attention to detail is exquisite! The bear cub is super cute! I love the way the cub seems to look right at you. It's easy to see the work you put into this. I love everything about it! I so wish I had six stars for this! Thank you so much for sharing! I truly enjoyed earning my 2 cent review! Good LUck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

If this really is graphite,

Amazing traditional graphite drawing on paper of a bear cub. The attention to detail showcases the artist's skill in capturing subtle facial expressions, body language, and the surroundings. Well done! Good luck!

This work is incredible and shows a mastery of pencilling. My only note is the bottom left hand corner could use more attention, I feel it's a little underworked and doesn't achieve the definition reached in the overall piece. Also maybe a few more highlights on the cub. This is only an attempt to help you improve and not a knock. This work is amazing and appears to be a photo! Astounding work!

Such talent! I am amazed at the talent is shown here. It looks like a black and white photograph more than a pencil drawing. The detail is very good. I think this should do very well in the contest.

Thank you!

Comment from Way West
Your work shows excellent definition and such realism that I had to look several times to decide it was not a photo. Well Done! This little bear hanging on to the tree is classic nature and so very pleasing to see. Thank you for sharing your talent and best wishes for the contest!

This is a drawing?!?! I thought it was a photograph! This is truly incredible and everything art should be. If there was a more pronounced focal point I would've given it six stars. Truly amazing. Great great work!

Comment from Charlotte Morse
Wow!
I was wondering why this was in the art section, I totally took it for a photo!
As a photo I would probably still have given it a 6, but as a drawing it deserves much much more than that! Extraordinary work! Well done!

This is a beautiful and incredibly realistic picture of a bear cub - I thought that it was a photograph at first. I love the look in his eye and the bark on the tree is also very realistic - well done and good luck with it
