Comment from zeith
I looked through your portfolio. You have a lot of awards, and deserve everyone of them. You simply can't be beat. You don't belong here. Ironically, I'm supposed to be giving you advice, but you should be giving me lessons. What's your secret? What paper do you use? Do you prefer graphite or charcoal? You are definitely a poet with a pencil, and your work speaks for itself! God bless you, my dear Christian friend, and keep up the incomparable work! Zeith

Dear Zeith. Most importantly, we both love Jesus! I will tell you that I asked God to please continue enabling me to draw and I would never charge for my work honoring Him. I use regular drawing paper and a graphite pencil. There are so many hues in graphite. I use blending stubs-sticks to blend. God bless you

This is a very good drawing. I'm giving you a six because I am trying to do some graphite drawing and I know how hard it is. Great job. I'm sure he will love it.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
As always your portrait are more than realistic - this one shines in the perfect child pure radiance all children have - excellent use of space, your reproductions strikes in softness, accuracy of details, proportions and expression
the dark background lets her even shine more - a wonderful genuine portrait design, excellent technique
thanks for sharing

Another lovely gift for us all Linda. The look on her face says it all. There is that innocence and at the same time the mischievousness that she seems to have just behind that smile. Great work as always Linda. Thank you for sharing ~ Steve

What a nice thing to do for this man. I bet he will love it.
Really well drawn, it looks very lifelike by using some excellent shading and tonal techniques to achieve this.
Thank you for sharing

When I first saw this I mistook it for a photograph. Such wonderful detail of the curl in her hair. I bet the man was thrilled to get such a beautiful drawing
