A virtual 6 for this cute creation.
Excellent lighting, focusing & framing.
An impressive artwork rendition. Monochromatic creation with excellent strokes & textures. Good compositional style. Great overall impact! Thanks for sharing...

What a wonderful pencil drawing. You seemed to have captured the essence of innocence with your granddaughter.

The thumb sucking and the upward gaze (toward her Mom?) is priceless.

I like the shadow on the arm, perhaps due to sunlight coming through a window pane. That adds interest.

The dress has a flowery pattern that a little girl would wear with internal pride.

Lots of leading lines from the foreground to the girl, keeps the views eyes focused on the subject. Nice.

Overall, perhaps one of your best efforts!!

Excellent drawing of your beautiful little granddaughter, Esme and such a natural pose. I love all the detail you draw and the way you differentiate between the various textures of hair, clothing and skin. Brilliant light and shading applied.

Really lovely composition. I'm sure her Mum must be thrilled with this. Suzanne

What a beautiful and oh so charming drawing, Linda. She is such a dollbaby. I can see why you would want to draw this. Its just one of them pictures and artist would take a liking to. Wonderful job. Nice blends and great lighting/shade areas. Absolutely stunning. :) From one self-taught to another, you are simply amazing with your pencils. Wish I had a better rate for this one.

I am sure the photo was very nice but you certainly took it to another notch with the drawing. I am so impressed with the details in her dress to the shadowing down her arm. Very nice work.

Beautiful. It's the softness and innocence that draws me into the image. I love that you captured the upward brow and the thumb sucking behavior - in a very natural and candid way. Great line, light and shadow. Fantastic attention to detail and wonderful technique. Thanks for sharing in the beauty.

Simply lovely. The angle you chose is fantastic. It allows for the viewer to see your darling granddaughter without "intruding" on this private moment. Drawing hands is very difficult and you did this wonderfully. The lighting and shadows are perfect. It's so real that I want to know what she is looking at so intently. No wonder she holds your heart, she is precious.

Simple and natural, I think you have captured her in a pose of childhood and it has meaning. As a viewer I want to peek around her little face to see if she will smile. There is harmony, balance and it is very pleasing to the eye. Beautiful. Carol
