Comment from Dick Lee Shia


A gorgeous portrait with fine facial features and smooth textures.
Controlled illumination highlights softly without blown out spots.
Realistically & bilaterally proportional.

Unique tilted positioning.
Is that head part really cropped in the original copy?
Better if shown fully but still a
Fantabulous portraiture!

Best of luck in the contest! Thanks for sharing...

    Thank you Dick. Yes the head is cropped in the picture. I know I should have included it, but my imagination is not as sharp as it should be.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


I am drawn to the compositional style of this portrait, unique and refreshing.

Your smudging is gentle showing good shadowing and the tonal range of the drawing is extensive from white to gray to black.

Dimensional proportions well done and we can tell you are not new to your craft.

Omg...i thought this was a black and white photograph. Details are delightful. Eyes, lips and hair are amazingly done.

Very well done and thanks for sharing.

The more I looked at this the more appreciative I became of the excellent nuances of this beautiful work of art. The highlights and illumination of the face are so well done and add a bit of drama to a very peaceful portrait. I will not repeat what has no doubt already been said of this wonderful work. I wish you all the best in the contest. A winner no matter what ~ Steve
