This is a great rendition of a child in graphite.
Reminds me of pics my mom used to take of me with that hair.
Great job with the facial expressions, and those little fingers.
Nice piece, thanks for sharing.

What a lovely facial expression. I think you've capture the face and head really well. There is some lovely personality in this sketch. You clearly have some talent ripe for developing. Looking forward to more.

I think that you did an excellent job for being your first sketch and I see and artist in the making. I am by no means an expert but I think this is a great piece of work. Thank you for sharing this and I will be looking for more. JackJr.

This is a lovely drawing of this sleeping baby that looks like he could be waking up. The detail is great and the features are very good. Love the full head of hair! Wonderful job for a first attempt. Best of luck in the contest.

A very nice drawing with that wild hair that you you often see on infants. I like the face a lot more than the left hand. Best of luck in the contest.

    Yes I had problems with the hands. Thank you so much

5 stars for freaking adorable!!! I wanna squish those cheeks!!!

Is this technically sound? No. Mostly the body of the baby, the arms mainly, could use some fine-tuning on the anatomy. But it's a great job and you sketch the hands and face very very well here.

Don't be afraid to add a little more shading (less outline) to the baby's outfit and blanket - especially to separate them from each other. As demonstrated in this sketch, your audience may feel they are of the same fabric - really try to replicate those intricate fabric patterns next time. Take your time - don't rush!

Great job!

Wow, your great at this, so so more your good. This is so sweet. Love the hands up to the face, as if flinching to sound, movement and waking. I do not know, but any of that fits the look on that sweet face. Perfect. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

For a "relatively new photographer" you did a great job with this sketch. See you are new to the art world too. This is really cute. Love the expression on our toddler's face - like "leave me alone, can't you see I'm sleeping". Thanks for sharing.

An adorable sketch of this sleeping baby. A good expression on this sleepy baby face....and I love the way you have the hands are going out.... the way babies do. A well drawn sketch with good shading and details. Good facial features and facial proportions. A very nice sketch and perfect for the Baby and Child Art Contest and good luck. Thanks for sharing!

Nice work Linda. A very good entry for the contest. I would like to draw like this one day. I have decided to take a beginning art class at our local community college. I can't draw a stick man right now but hope to be able to draw like this one day. Best of fortune in the contest Linda ~ Steve

    Wow Steve you are so nice. I am just a beginner and learning myself. I took some free online sessions on the internet. They are very good.
