What a precious child! I like the angle you chose for your drawing because it makes me (the viewer) feel less intrusive while looking at him. The tousled hair is very natural, and the smile engaging. This is certainly worthy of a contest entry.

Good lines and shapes; background could be a bit darker; good lines; captured the facial features and expression spot on; hair needs a bit of work; thank you for sharing; nice work.

What was easy was assigning the rating for this drawing.
Which is not a drawing but
a reflection of your love for your sister and this child.
Sometimes writing, like most everything is a chore
but not so in this case, for
you nor for me.
The drawing a calling of love of family, which
you artfully expressed in this undertaking.

A wonderful pose. So natural an unassuming. That smile could melt hearts. Rendered with your usual attention to detail and almost photographic quality. You do hair amazingly well and no exception to that here. Good luck in the contest.

Your drawings of children especially Linda are just absolutely amazing.

A wonderful expression you've drawn on your great nephew's face. I particularly like that you have done it in semi-profile. How beautifully you've shown Axel's little baby teeth and long eyelashes.

A really lovely piece and I imagine it is a great comfort for your Sister.

Deborah

Magnificent work of art Linda! The character and happiness and purity of this child is depicted perfectly with your pencil. Your light and shadows are as if A photograph. The darker details on the hair, eyelashes, and general facial features makes this very realistic .A delight to view! Good luck!
