I like drawing in pencil -- for me it is very satisfying. You have certainly mastered the pencil. This drawing is just wonderful -- the detail is great but even better is the fact that with all this detail the drawing is not tight. It flows and the composition is perfect and of course we all love sleeping beauty. This your way above average drawing. You are a master.

    Dearest Leslie,
    I love drama, and romance. With pencil, and a blending stick, I am able to achieve the different shades. I wanted to draw everyone into the aura of romance, and I hope that I have done that. Thank you for your wonderful review. I value it very highly.

Excellent drawing skills rarely seen these days very like one of the Pre Raphaelite artists even in subject matter.Your tonal grey values in this work are of a very high standard and the composition is traditional and very eye catching.I hope you produce more work to such a high standard.

    Thank you so very much for the wonderful review. I adore the whole pre raphaelite era. Realism is so challenging. I am looking for a new project right nowl Your kind comments have encouraged me.

Well my rating says it all. I have never seen such a cracking drawing in my life, and I have seen a few good ones. This is just sheer class and everything about it screams quality. I cant say any more, I just want to look at it in peace. Bye! Nick

I frustrated to not have six. This is beautiful. You draw a beautiful couple with all details. This is can't be better. The hair of the girl is just amazing.
This is ART in upper case.
Brilliant.

Would really enjoy seeing this in person! Rich in detail and realistic features. Captures the viewer's attention and does not let go.

Lovely drawing, you get a strong sense of the romance especially from the male! Superb detail and atmosphere.

There's also, for me, an interesting juxtaposition in that teh setting is olde worlde but the faces look modern.

    How do we know the look of the old world, as we are not able to return. Beauty is eternal.

Your detail is impeccable, this tells such a story it could have several interpretations too, which adds to the mysteriousness of the look in the maidens eyes. Just a pleasure to look at. One question, as I can not for the life of me see the medium used, it looks like charcoal or pencil...? VERY beautiful, composition, story telling, artistic skill, all shows through. Congratulations.

    My work in pencil drawing is agonizing, but the results are so rewarding. When I am concentrating in the picture I am working on, All else becomes distant. I am constantly looking for the next project; one which will be more dramatic than the last. Ultimately, I want to discover the most fantastic subject. Thank you for your interest in my work. Forever,
    Linda

Gorgeous image.
The romance is just palpable in this drawing.
Her face is beautiful, seems illuminated by her love for her prince.
Great composition.

    Wow, a 6 star rating. This is such a wondeful honor. If only there were words to express my gratitude. The illumination that you see is the love of every woman who has found her true love.
