Your work is always recognizable.I enjoy every piece you have ever posted.The expression you produce is always thought provoking.You can see in the eyes not only in this one but in all of yours.The mouth as well speaks and give us an immediate sense of what you are wanting to present.Again gorgeous work and as always a pleasure to view.

    Dear Anne
    Thank you for your wonderful review. I am glad you see beauty in the simplicity of this drawing. All the wonder and hope can be measured in the eyes of a person. That is what is so treasured in the gaze of innosense.

Comment from jgrace


Very beautiful portrait and yes it does convey romance, love,and a sense of immense peace. Very good facial features, good shading and balance between light and dark areas. Satiny look of the dress is amazing. Great presentation. Outstanding what you have done with pencil...Wish I had a six for you.

    Dear Grace,
    I am so grateful for your wonderful review. I wanted this picture to convey the gentle softness of simplicity. Her dress is simple, her gaze is simple, and her hair is starkly pulled back from her face to allow her eyes to be the center of the picture.

Comment from Jac Rocha-Catarina51


Beautiful eyes and all we can see through them, but the quality of this work is due to you. She is a beautiful woman, and you drew her so well, that I'm surprised, indeed.

    Dearest Charlena,
    I spoke today to an artist on another site who believes that an artist should just create what pleases the artist, but I always begin a work with the thought of pleasing other people with it. I want perfection. I guess it must have something to do with ego. I feed off of positive reviews. I could never be so relaxed in my art to let go and enjoy the feel of creating. I am just pleased when the work that I finish is well accepted. Thank you for your wonder critique. It means the world to me.

Nice composition here, very bright, and romantic. Love the detail in both the face and the clothing and the dark in the wall is a nice backdrop. Well done.

This is an extremely attractive image. You have depicted every important detail and the composition is very good indeed. I particularly like the texturing, striking workmanship and tonal blending here.

Comment from DrCArt222


Your media technique is truly remarkable. In this representation, I am particularly impressed with its soft tones which vastly augment the pensive characterization of your subject. The way you have offset your subject from center tends to suggest ambivalence and reluctance. Very well done and thank you for sharing.--Dr. Carlton

    Dear Dr. Carlton,
    You know that the innosence, and demure attitude of a chaste young woman is always displayed by a bit of reluctance. Thus, I felt that she should be simple, and beautiful, and stand/offish. You saw that by the off/center positioning. Thank you for your wonderful review.
