very nice,,your work is very detailed, love the look of the eyes, she looks beautiful, like that it looks vintage, she looks like one of those dolls you could get in the 40's that had real hair,,

Vintage image.

Antiquated fashion.

Fine facial features & soft fluffy textures.
Superb eye clarity.

Soulful & sparkling.
Selective pale pink color...
Compact framing.

Tight on top.
Classic portraiture.
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive strokes & textures.

Thanks for sharing...

This is such a strong piece.

It is so well done that it can easily be mistaken for vintage photo.

The features of her face are clean and so well proportioned.

The continence of her expression is child like but hides a maturity that is beyond her years.

Your coloration is excellent. It is not over done. Understated just enough to add a tender appeal to the subject.

Very well done ... B-)) Bob

Comment from Lauren Douglas


This is just stunning! The beautiful effect of a colorized old photograph is unusual and gorgeous. The coloring is very well done and the lighting, especially around the right side of the hair is awesomely lifelike. Great great job!

You are saying that this is not a photograph that you colored in with the pencils, but an actual drawing you made. That is impossible!! This is utterly fantastic and wonderful and beautiful and so real I feel that I can reach out and touch her beautiful face. God bless you.

This is such a sweet drawing. You are right about it having a vintage look, and the soft pink looks beautiful with that vintage look. You did such a beautiful job with the details, as you always do. I showed it to my mom, and she thought it was a photograph at first lol. You did an amazing job, and I thank you for sharing this :)

Your work is beautiful..I especially like this because of the way it gives the impression of days gone by. I like the subtle tones and Misty look as if it is an old photo.
