OMG! What an amazing portrait drawing.I am stumped! The way you have brought out the dreamy look on her face is simply superb. I have run out of adjectives. A sure winner hands down. Good luck!
I wish I had a six to give you:(:(

Mission accomplished! You did a great job of making the viewer feel nostalgic and transported back in time. I'm not an artist, but I can recognize your work without seeing your name! You have a great style.

Excellent work of art. Perfectly placed on the canvas. I love the gradual changes in the shading of her face.. the highlights in her hair.. and her eyes capture her soul.. soft and glowing. Thank you for sharing!

A beautiful portrait of this young woman. I think you have expressed that nostalgic feeling very well.
Not only a sense of innocence but I feel a slight sadness there as if from loss.

I usually do not comment on drawing art work. This one caught my eye though. It actually looks like a photo. Amazing how you captured all the detail and shading.

Comment from castersupmode
There is nothing to criticize here but much to admire. The pose is lively but tempered by a natural expression. Her couture is elegant yet tasteful. I like the fine detail in the modest necklace, the eyes and the shape of the mouth. The broad lighting illuminates the eyes while the shadows balance well against the highlights. I like the sensitivity and depth of subtlety of her expression as of one who has experience of life, its challenges, its illusions and caveat'd rewards.
