A drawing for a friend

This is a super special present and a wonderful memory of her children. And, from her friend!
Very nice the way it is done in graphite. The picture of innocence. The details are very well done on the child and baby. Lovely facial expression. Beautiful strands of the girls hair, angle of the baby, hand and the folds in the clothing. Background adds to the scene.
Wonderful to view. Nice work.

Wow this has the W factor. It's superbly drawn, I bow in envy at your skill. Beautiful children. Looks so lifelike. The position and pose excellent. The shading and toning superb. Your friend must be over the moon with this. I have started sketching using graphite or coloured pencils as a new thing for me so so interested to see this type of work. Well done.

This is outstanding work! The realism is remarkable and it seriously captures the tenderness of the moment. A gentle story can be told here. You make me wish I could draw;)

Very nice present and art work. The texture are all there from the wrinkles in the clothes to wavy hair. The proportions of the heads and hands are good. The shades and tones and contrast are perfect. great job

You have pictured such a tender scene between a mother and her baby, and you have to have a heart of stone not be touched by it. I especially like the peaceful expression in the mother's face and how lovely the light is falling on it.

I also like a lot the great distinctions between light and dark, and your always so good attention to even the smallest details. Your graphite work is excellent.

The format and framing is perfect, and the mother and child are well placed on the paper. I think this is a beautiful and well done drawing Linda, and I wish you luck with the contest. I am sure your friend was very happy to receive such a lovely gift.
