What continues to amaze me is the absolute realism you achieve in pencil. I'm not trying to push this, so I will only mention this this last time, but Jason at xanadugallery.com would welcome your art online, I have no doubt your work would sell thereby having your work displayed at his gallery. Whether you draw human skin, hair, clothes the realism and yet more the beauty you capture in everything you draw elevates drawing. (I'll also say, forgive me - not trying to push you - but I entered a competition for Drawing Magazine (from an ad in The Artist's Magazine). You would do well in competitions.

Dear Maureen, I am glad that you pushed, because, that is exactly what I need. Sometimes I am amazed at the reviews I get. I will go to that website and see what it is all about. Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for your fantastic review.

You're so welcome. I had mentioned you to Jason in an email and he said to tell you to go to the site. Feel free to email him with my name as reference. Good luck! I showed my daughter your art, she was amazed. As I said, people will want to see you art.

The nicest thing I can say about this is that I thought it was a photograph. Real, real, real. Clearly shows your artistic talent. Like the other reviewers I'm blown away. I know you're tired of hearing this, but its Friday and...cyber 6. Next time I'll save one I promise. Cheers, JR

Hey, JR, I am never tired of hearing cyber 6. Awesome. I am going for perfection, so your review is perfect. Each drawing is a learning experience, yet each time I draw, I freak out. Fear of not achieving that perfection. Thank you for helping me to see, perfect is not necessary.

You did a wonderful job here. Really captured the flesh tones, almost looks like he could move. The reflections of light on his skin are superb!

Dear Lili, I would love to tell you that, yes, this body stood before me for hours as I drew him, but no. I rendered this from a photo. Thank you for your fantastic review.

You are very welcome=) Lili

Magnificent piece. Your rendering skills are masterful. Great composition and framing. Forcing the viewer to focus on the subject. Amazing lighting, the subject appears to be the source of illumination. Tremendous detail work. Another wonderful and extremely well done work. Thanks

BC, that you saw that maybe this body was the source of illumination is fantastic. This is a concept that I had not considered. Amazing that you saw it. Thank you for your exceptional review.

This is really interesting and something I would not normally find appealing.
But its artistic and that's what captured my attention.
Thanks for sharing it.
