What a lovely portrait. She is so beautiful, almost like a movie star. You did a most magnificent drawing of your mom and definitely paid a big tribute to her memory. God bless your gift.

First off all may I express my condolences on your loss.

You could not have produced a finer tribute than this. This is, by far, the very best submission I have seen on here in months!

I do not know where to start. The composition is stunning. The lighting is perfect. The detail is mind-blowing.

This is outstanding in every way. Very well done.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Excellent drawing of light, shadow and keeping your Mom's proportions correct. She is truly beautiful and reminds me of mine so many years ago. They both are movie stars. Thank You for sharing.

This is a very lovely picture. I can tell by the work that went into it that you loved your mother very much. The use of greyscale is an excellent choice.

A very beautiful drawing of a beautiful woman. Love the details of her face and neck. You did them very well. Expression is adorable. Contrast of bright and dark is eyepleasing.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
