How beautiful of you to allow us into her story with you! You have done a great job on her delicate features. Very steady hand with the small details of her face to her earrings. And I love the crown of flowers on her head with the lovely colors! RIP sweet girl and wonderful art!!

What a lovely little girl with such a sad story. Love the specks of color in her flower crown. The expression on her face reflects her story. Thanks for sharing and glad she is in a better place.

Your work is quite remarkable, not only for its skillful media execution, but also and especially, as with most of your excellent drawings, for its profound characterization. Very well done and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Oh, that's so sad to know how soon she's gone...
And mostly those who left us ahead are the ones who are gentle & kind...
I'm sure she's now appreciating your endearing tribute and gift from afar--smiling with the angels.
She's NOW resting in eternal peace...
No more worries.
No more pain.
No more problems.

She's surely missed by her loved ones...so dearly.

Impressive b&w rendition with selective coloring...

Excellent tonal range.

Nice features & textures.

Subtle lighting & compact framing.

Thanks for sharing...

    Oh, it's " she's "NOW" resting IN ETERNAL PEACE"
    Instead of "NOT"!
Comment from Stringbean


A wonderful gift of love....their is no better gift to give a grieving Mother. A gorgeous portrait of the brave little girl. Nicely done in graphite pencil and so beautiful is that touch of peach color. You have captured the essence of her and her personality. Your blending and shading with graphite is incredible. Good facial features and proportions. Good body proportions. A creative and talented art work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

This is a lovely portrait and such a sad story.
Too young too soon, but certainly an angel in heaven. Your drawing is really beautiful and has incredible shading and depth with a soft glow.
I'm sure it will be a cherished gift. Best of luck in the competition.

This almost looks like a black and whit photo. Her facial expression conveys a sadness and I'll keep going, thoughtful. The flowers in her hair give a feeling of youth and innocence. Wow I just read your writing under the picture.

Really amazing piece. Very touching reasoning why you chose to concentrate on her. I thought this was a photograph, so you definitely have what it takes to win the contest you entered. Amazing work! Rest easy, babygirl!
