A very attractive couple you let specially shine in the copy of the photograph

Your pencil technique is excellent , you worked out every detail in perfect soft shades and different hues - the light application shows your ability to create reality impression

the fine nuances in their faces, skin and hair is accurate and well defined
You were able to reproduce their happiness and love expression so naturally and perfect that it even does not seem to be a drawing

Fantastic job, sure they will fall in love with your work, thanks for sharing

Hi Linda,
This is another quite realistic portrait from you which I am sure your kin will love very much. The contrast of the background against the dark garments displays your great skill with the pencil. Thanks for sharing! R

And how much did they pay you?

Well, this must be treasured forever as they can't have these rendition from anybody else.
This is a labor of love.
Impressive b&w rendition. Excellent tonal range. Nice features & textures. Good lighting & framing. Thanks for sharing...
