What a grand graphite event, your capture of this little one is wonderful. The look on her face is absolute perfection - great and wonderful details over the wonderful area we see. So peaceful and loving. Wonderful lighting as well. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Mama Mia1


I have goosebumps after reading your excerpt and looking at this gorgeous baby. What a sad, sad story it is. You have a magnificent artwork here and it especially is an honor to behold.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


I did a lengthy review on this the other night but 'twas lost in transition!

Well, thanks for immortalizing this innocent angel!
She would have grown to be a lovely lady. She's cutely captured here with her chin touching her chest...
Semi sepia overtone.
Impressive monochromatic rendition with great tonal range.
Thanks for sharing...

    Thank you, Dick, as I know that you honor children with all of your magnificent work. I don't know how I came to this platform of my work, but, I can only guess that our Savior has a heart of deep compassion.

Pretty good! I like the forms and lines; nice shapes; nice look in black and white; could be a bit darker on the baby and lighter background; thanks for sharing; take care.

Comment from Stringbean


This is very nice work! I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a sleeping baby. You have captured Ellie beautifully and with so much love. What a beautiful gift to be able to give to the parents of this beautiful child. I love the angle of the baby's face, the tiny nose and lips and the way her typical baby chin sets on her chest, and the way she is holding her hand. Through your mastery of details and beautiful shading you have captivated us with this drawing! Worthy of a six! Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

Comment from Joelgraphuchin


Wow...this is beautiful. What a peaceful nap of the baby. Requiescas in pace, Ellie!

Details are delicate. Her fingers amaze me the most. Aptly done.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Comment from csimmons032


She was a very beautiful little girl, and I am so sorry to hear about her diagnosis, struggle, and death. While it is sad that she lost her life so soon, at least she will no longer have to live in pain and suffering. You did a beautiful job and I can't think of a better way to honor the life that she lived, even if it was for a short time. Thank you for sharing this, it is a beautiful tribute.

    It's no problem :) Portraits aren't usually my area of expertise but I always enjoy your drawings very much.

what a beautiful little girl all snuggled in her blankets .the tiny wisp's of hair .each little crease and line done with perfect line's shading and light ,folds of skin & skin tone in the BW & greys is talented . like the back ground . what can I say but perfection . Presentation perfection .
Story heart wrenching . Even though life was a short 5years .That is 5years of memories that her mum & dad have . May god keep her warm in his arms .
I admire what you do for the babies and families . Thanks for letting us share
