Excellent color and tonal range: complements the mood of the image. The light and shadow has created dimension. Very skillfully drawn and coloured. Bravo!

Great work Raoul!
We can see her grief and almost feel it along with her.
Great emotive piece with nice details and facial expression.
The dark background enhanced and adds to the mood here.
Nice work! :)

Comment from Jack Moore
This is very nice work but I missed the first one because my new job has kept me busy and I don't get on here like before. I hope to see the last one and will be looking for it. Keep up the great work. JackJr.

I wonder if This act was as satisfying as she thought it would be. The weighing of her thoughts is clearly visible in her expression. Do I perhaps see some doubt? I look forward to the next installment.

Comment from Lolly Cardinal
Awesome drawing and colored perfectly. Colors are bright, clear and awesome. Maid's face very well drawn and detailed and her head dress is great, hand very well done also. Centered, detailed and shadowed properly. Magnificent clear portrait and great eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and GOOD LUCK!
Have yourself a magnificent Sunday.

Comment from Denise B
I can feel the events of the story through the image. The paleness of her skin coincides with the cool wet lake explanation. This goes perfectly with the story as explained so far. I really like the details of what appears to be a headdress. Makes me want to read the story. Nice work.
