The simplicity of the portrait artwork work highlights your skill in capturing form and expression with minimal strokes. You have used negative space . Well done!

I love how you've captured the feeling of this model's mood with this sketch, Maureen, without overworking with the charcoal. I also like how you filled the frame. The subtle shading works very well. A lovely sketch. Suzanne

A very good looking image posted here! Wonder who Elise is? Your fine and full composition gives a lovely portrait view of her. Textures, detail and tones are good. Well drawn!

This is a beautiful sketch of Elise. She seems to be sad or tired either way you showed facial expression. Very nice work. You haven't disappointed me yet

This is a lovely portrait done in charcoal. A sad, thoughtful and beautiful expression shown here. The shadows and highlights of this drawing are beautiful; and consequently, show deep thought and emotion.

A very nice, skillfully achieved charcoal portrait of Elise. Your impeccable attention to detail, lights and shadows really shines through in this close up. My initial reaction was "Sorrow or Deep Thought". Very Nice.
