You shouldn't have any problems competing as your work is beyond excellent. This is a very nice drawing. I hope to get that good some day. I love your detail, facial expressions and contrast. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Comment from Raoul D'Harmental
Hi Linda,

Apologies for this but I've run out of sixes and would try to remember to boost the score when I get some more. I think this is your best sketch yet thanks to there being two subjects and with such a palpable bond between them. Exceptional work this! R

linda, your art work is so passionate and this is a prime example as you capture the love ,the fondness between mother and child through the softness of your pencil work.you have beautiful soft to dark tones through this work that brings depth to your picture. An outstanding piece of work that is in one word "adorable" well done

Well, Neil, I just looked at your latest work in oil, and I believe that you are a true artist with a deep appreciation for the female form. Thank you for your remarkable review, and the 6 star rating. I am honored.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
An interesting initial impact.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Superb composition.
Vintage look!
This is not sepia or black & white but the colors are visually soothing & appealing.
Fine details.
Impressive b&w rendition. Excellent tonal range. Nice features & textures. Good lighting & framing. Thanks for sharing... Best of luck in the contest! Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...
