Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is fine line art. I actually liked it best. Congratulations on your third-place win. Fine copying indeed. It is a fine subject for the contest. Interesting with the underbelly of Mama Zebra.

HI Charlotte, Your line work created a very sweet image! Love mama and baby zebra! I like the way you have the mother approaching the baby. The proportions of the zebras were very nicely done. You made something that seems simple very special. Thanks for sharing and Good luck in the contest!

Thank you So much Nancy! It?s been great fun getting back to doing a bit of drawing, it?s been a very, very long time since I?ve done much - the photography rather took over!

Comment from Ray Gordon
Now there is a watchful mother with an eye on her foal. Charlotte, it is truly amazing how a mother cares for and watches over her young, a wonderful instinct and you have shown this so well with this line drawing. Ray

Comment from Way West
You are a multi talented lady Charlotte! What a cute drawing this is, I just love the way the zebras jump off of the page. The bold, dark lines against the white printer paper was an excellent choice, and you have given them such fine details that they truly look alive. A great entry to the contest, I'm sure you'll do well, but best wishes anyway!

Thank you So much Jodi! I always loved traditional art in my youth, but then I discovered photography which rather took over. But since joining FAR (and having a little more time on my hands) I?ve begun to rediscover the pleasures of art and I?m thoroughly enjoying it.

Wow thank you So much! I?ve done very little drawing for a very long while that it?s a real boost to receive a glowing six star review from someone of your artistic calibre! (Bowing)

Charlotte,
A beautiful drawing of your Zebra & her foal, looking down on it as she seems to be in conversation. Created by your artist's eye for composition, very skilful draftsmanship in bring this pair to life on your canvas.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan

Very good entry into the contest Charlotte and you have drawn the Zebra and foal well.
Love the use of varying tip pen sizes to get the pattern of the zebra.
Good luck with contest.
