Wow Mark! Madame Butterfly is very authentic and real looking. She is very engaging and grabs the viewers attention, initial impact, immediately. Your technique of creating foreshortening is spot on. Proportions of the woman's head, neck and features are excellent. I love the bright, cheerful colors and all the lovely detail you have portrayed in the butterflies and the woman.

I've never heard that song before very interesting. I love how you've created this woman with a butterflies surrounding her. Your title fits the subject perfectly. I like the dark background that highlights the colours and tones. Well done thank you for sharing.

Hi Mark, I love butterflies so you won me over with this image. I think your geisha girl is very delicate looking. Love her butterfly headpiece! I also love the butterflies fluttering a round her. Very nicely done and a joy to view! :o) Nancy

This is a very nice piece of art. It still amazes me that you create all of this work with Sharpies and pens. The colors, details are all very nice and the black background really make Madam Butterfly stand out. Great job!

A good looking image posted here! Your madam looks very surprised by something in your full and direct composition? Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely drawn!

A Kabuki girl dressed lavishly in a red garment. Adorned with flittering butterflies. I can hear the droning strings in the background. All primary pure colors excepting the black of course. You are on the crest of your wave. Beautiful work. Ray

What a unique and beautiful depiction of Madam Butterfly! This artwork captivates me; I find it difficult to articulate, but it evokes a profound emotional response within me when I observe it. The colours seem to speak to each other. I wish I had a 10 to award to this lovely piece. Bravo,bro!

Mark,
A beautiful picture of Madam Butterfly created in your Artist's eye for composition very skilful draftsmanship using a Sharpie & Bic pen. Beautiful choice of your colours in bringing this scene to life on your canvas
