    Thank you Jesuel. I tried many times to get a good picture of this work, but it just wouldn't come.

You have a very beautiful daughter and this is a lovely portrait of her. I like the close up of her pleasant facial expression. Good framing and visual impact. Well done. ~Alveria

    Sandy, this is something dear to my heart. My spirit knows this face.
Comment from drmerlin


Whilst I really like the composition here (your daughter makes a very striking model) I am less keen on the way that the portrait is lit. The highlights are blown out so that much of the detail from the models face are missing. Similarly, all of the detail in the hair has gone. Where you do have some pixel information, the appearance seems grainy to me. I am unclear whether this was a regular photograph that has been over-stylised or whether you used on-camera flash which has flattened the face. Sorry....

Comment from Tuccibella


I thought this was a photo! Beautiful job. I really like the intensity in her eyes and nice job with the cheekbone and lips. Light balance is good and dark undertones are nice. Well done!

I like your sense of sophistication in this Art Work. It is so sweet and thoughtful to capture your child through your artistic hand . I like the concept and I wish I could do the same to my boys. Good luck to this contest.

First of all your daughter is lovely. Your pencil work is, as usual, flawless, the work certainly shows the balance you sought. Subdued color helps to define the beauty of the model. All-in-all another enticing work. Best,of luck in the co test.
