Very strong impact of image on viewer. It feels very personal with the witch'e eyeline directly placed on viewer. Nice detail and excellent technique of drawing. I also like the textured overlay of image with soft pattern.

Linda
here you give us another hauntingly good image of the seductress witch and you place the frog on her right shoulder ... the crone and the prince is not a good alliance from an archetypal view unless the crone has unfinished business. My sense is they are looking in two directions .. but then like all good fairy tales the story continues...

    James, you have given me information that I never knew. Thank you for sharing that. The story does continue. You should continue it with a picture of your own. That is a wonderful idea. Thank you for your wonderful and fun review.

Hi Linda,

This is beautiful work. The shading and background (or foreground) is well done. Should be a 6 but I'm out of them sorry! Thanks for sharing! R

Comment from snowblaze


OH my! This is super-nice! My favorite park is that the 'surface' of the drawing is crackled... and you were able to "repsond" to each segment with a tone adjustment to the drawing. Excellent work.

    6 stars, thank you Snow. I actually got so frustrated with this drawing, that I tore it in two, crumpled it up, and threw it across the room. I felt bad about quitting, so I taped it back together and ironed it, and this is the result. Thank you for appreciating it.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


I don't want to look straight in her eyes as I do this review...for fear of being turned into a tadpole!
Excellent tonal variations.
I like the deep set narrow eyes.
The aristocratic high bridge nose depicts mystery.
The clipped lips suggest secretiveness.
The overall aura is enigmatic.
Thanks!

Comment from mamamary


Linda, you have a great talent. The woman's eyes are haunting. The symmetry of her facial features show that you have studied the human physique. I keep coming back to her eyes. I know that eyes are the hardest feature to do a good job with. Her eyes speak such sorrow to me. I hope she kisses the frog and perhaps will change her life.

    Dearest Mama, we can only hope. How often our life changing opportunities are resting on our shoulders, and we refuse to see them. Thank you for this wonderful review.
Comment from Alveria


She still looks beautiful, warts and all. :) Very lovely drawing that has a surreal and dreamy look to it. I love the composition and her facial expression which looks somewhat pensive to me. The frog looks content to be on her shoulder. Excellent work Linda. Always a pleasure to view. ~Alveria
