This is a beautiful drawing. It is very realistic, however it captured personality in ways a photograph cannot usually accomplish. The fact that the subject is your daughter as an intimate quality that I love. You are very talented.

I have the greatest sympathy for your loss. My only son died at the age of 23 and I will never get over it. I like this drawing; the eyes are fantastic and the composition is classic. Best wishes.

Hi Linda, first of all, I am. So very sorry for your incredible loss, my heart goes out to you, I will keep you in my prayers.
You absolutely blow me away with your incredible skill, you have a gift ! This drawing of your beautiful little girl is better then outstanding, you bring her to life with the way you show her expression, her eyes, her face shape, the wavy texture of her hair, the white ribbon , her dress with the white bodice and the tiny heart necklace she wears. She comes forward from the background perfectly! It is a privilege to view your work, I feel fortunate for this opportunity. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us and best wishes to you in the contest!

Despite your tragic loss, you have not lost any of your skills. This is a beautiful portrait. The face expression is enduring. The highlights are excellently set and emphasize the face. The shading is perfect. Perspective and proportions are flawless.

Linda,
A very skillfully drawn portrait of your very beautiful firstborn daughter Jamie her eyes fixed on you & a smile on her lips. Her shiny hair cascading down over her shoulders. Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful draftsmanship & shading & the gift to be able to convey on your canvas what your eye or your mind's eye sees.
Susan

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


I a so happy for you that you listened to your Grand Daughter - drawing is a natural healing therapy and by drawing you will heal the pain as you are connected with them
excellent design really showing all her character and life style - it really looks like the original photograph again not even like a painting and that shows that you are a born artist from the best and should not let this talent go down
excellent details work - so accurate and perfect - shadow and light application are beyond as even the light on her front shines out and that will shine forever
super background shades as well as on her hair and dress
a beautiful portrait - excellent in details with a great initial impression, all the best for the contest
