I fell in love with this picture the first time I saw it. I couldn't believe that it was a drawing that had been created by someone's hand. Great work. Love the shading and the hair how it has been made to look so real. You must be very proud of this. Thank you so much for sharing and good luck with the contest.

There is only one artist I know that could pull life to this pencil sketch..but what do I know..I'm supposed to blind.. Wink.. The facial expression is perfect. The body form and language is perfect. The details is perfect. The shading is perfect. The depth is perfect. The creation is balanced and eye pleasing to the viewer. Very creative and superb work overall. (Standing clapping and cheering) woooooooohooooo

This is such an amazingly talented drawing! A true masterpiece! I am in love with the shading and highlights! You can see the hopeless despair in the child's face. The subject matter is so well done, when I initially saw it, I thought it was a photo. I was surprised to find it was a drawing. Just Wow! Enjoyed it tremendously!....L
