Comment from Linda Engel


It was the age of innocence. I love the hats from that era, so many ribbons and feathers. Your proportions are excellent and your shadowing gives the art work depth.
A beautiful face with delicate features, everything a Gibson Girl needed to be. The hat and clothing are appropriate for the era.
Just a remarkable piece of art. I always enjoy your work, Linda. Just beautiful.

Hi Linda,
What a wonderful entry for the April Open Challenge! I love vintage drawing and this one, to my eyes is, "Outstanding". Excellence in the light and darkness and I don't know how you do it but I love the sepia overtone.There is no way that I could give you anything less than a six star rating for this. I wish you the Best of Luck in this contest~

Beautiful drawing, Linda. You've captured this lady's demure attitude very well. I love all the detail you've drawn in her clothing and her hair. Excellent light and shading and the background works very well. Don't know how you do these beautiful drawings but this is stunning. Suzanne

Oh how beautiful and the story of what you wanted to capture very good & from where I am sitting and viewing you achieved all you wanted ,innocence in the alabaster skin tone ,the style of the lips ,the eyes looking but slightly shy looking ,the detail of the hair and gown has great depth & tone .the background suits very well .The use of pencil charcoal & highlighter & your very creative hand just a beautiful work Thank you for sharing

Comment from Raoul D'Harmental


Hi Linda,

As someone who loves vintage photos too, I really love this. Was this done on sepia paper, I wonder? I tend to do these kind of drawings on sepia paper to enhance the effect but perhaps you've added some shading to the white to create this ethereal effect. Excellent work and thanks for sharing this.

    Hi Raoul. Thank you for your wonderful review. This picture just took on this hue. I used regular drawing paper.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Aptly created for the contest theme...
An excellent vintage rendition with meticulous details & textures on her Victorian hat, facial features & dress.
Impressive highlights & shadows.
Impressive b&w rendition. Excellent tonal range.
Nice compositional style.
Good lighting & framing. Thanks for sharing...
Best of luck in the contest!
