Hi PPP, You created a very majestic elk with your graphite. Love the pose and the detail. I also love the setting! I can only imagine what seeing one of these in real life would be like. Your drawing truly is awesome! A great entry for the contest! Sending Good Luck wishes! :o) Nancy

The antlers on this elk are truly impressive, and the pose is perfect for showing them off. Your drawing looks very realistic, and I especially like the way you have used the light.

Needless to say that this drawing is done paying a very good attention to details, and I also like the softened background you have created to make the elk stand out so well.

The format and framing is perfect, and with the fine placement of the elk, it is a very good balance in the composition. Indeed a beautiful and well done drawing, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Wish I had not run out of 6 stars ratings.

This drawing is mind boggling! How do you do this? The details are so accurate, this looks like a photo. The line work, texture and shadowing are outstanding! Very impressive! Good Luck!

Gorgeous image of this majestic elk, an impressive piece of art that at first glance i mistook for a beautiful b&w photo. A stunning entry for the contest; wish you all the best, but I don't think you'll be needing it...
