WOW! This is simply amazingly beautiful!

Those cheeks are precious... I can see why you wanted to draw this. It's a very special piece!

Great hair and folds of her dress!

Thank you Snow. I appreciate this wonderful review.

Comment from Barb Baker
Linda, this is the cutest portrait of a little girl that I ever seen!!
Your shading is superb and the overall shading of the whole piece is exquisite!!
Your attention to detail like showing the lace curtains behind her chair and so on are remarkable.
She was a lucky little girl to have had you as the one drawing a portrait of her!!
Love it so much,
Barb Baker

What a sweet cherub angel she is! Those cheeks and expressive dark eyes draw you in. Lovely details on this Linda.

Beautifulous work!

Sange, thank you so much. When the subject that you are drawing just happens to be someone who holds your heart in their hands, well, a lot of the spirit comes through.

Comment from dalebraatz
Well done, the eyes really stand out, like the detail in her face, the nose and her lips, just wonderful. Thank you for sharing

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VERY KIND REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR DETAILING YOUR IMPRESSION.

Comment from Marilyn J. Brown
There is an excellent detail in this drawing. The light coming through the curtains and the baby's hair with its little ribbon, together with the folds of her dress are well-rendered.

Comment from Doris1022
That is very cute, love the eyes and the sort of square face. very sweet and the light is good and well done.
my hubby said great job too. he didn't like the perspective so much. but I like it. like looking down on her which is natural.

Thank you and thank your husband. I try to draw different perspectives, and angles. I don't like the portrait type pictures. More of a natural look.
