Oh I wish I had another 6, this is absolutely outstanding. The light in her eye, and the softness of her face is so unbelievable. You have talent beyond what I could comprehend. I LOVE this and can understand why you would have enjoyed this project. Great job.

Comment from Alveria


This is awesome work Linda. This drawing looks like a black and white vintage photo. Beautiful young woman and profile. Great interplay of light and shadow. Very realistic looking. Her skin and hair looks gorgeous. Her facial expression looks thoughtful. Nicely framed with great visual impact. Really beautiful. ~Alveria

This is gorgeous! The light behind her and the paleness of her skin is so beautiful. I don't know how you do it. It looks like a photo. Beautiful hair and the angle of her eye - Wow! The delicate lace and flowers are such a special touch. Excellent work!

What a wonderful work of art. You haven't left out a single detail. The shading is exceptional. Her facial features, the flowers, the scarf in her hair, all beautifully done.

Comment from Snopaw


What a beautifully vintage feel this has to it Linda. Your pencil work is stunning, as always. I really like the way you have illuminated her face and put the slight halo around her head to give it a unique glow.

Very well done in sepia giving that vintage look to it as well as in profile.

Lovely work!!
