This is one of those drawings were less is more. Very well done. I like how you have shown her eyes glistening in a simple yet effective way. Good proportion and character,
A pleasure to view. A talent for sure.

    Thank you, artist Monica. I appreciate your fine descriptive comments and for reviewing.
Comment from Heather P


Great accuracy. I can tell you drew accurately from a photograph. I think using a variety of thicknesses of pens, such as a thinner pen to emphasize the delicacy of the lacy design and fineness of the hair, would really add interest to the drawing. Beautiful eyes.
Add more lines to portray much more shadow on the face and it will really pop out and look even more realistic.

    I did not draw from a photograph except to repeat from the drawing I did years ago. I purposely just drew this plainly, simply as have other projects. Hope you reconsider this low rating. I've never gotten a rating this low. Thanks. I could do cross hatching, many types of lines, curves. I just did simple. Please see my muscles in portfolio. I may do some of your suggestions if I have enought days left in the contest. I was only trying to capture her likeness with lines and curves.

A very good entry for the Line Art Contest.

You have captured her likeness very well. The lines are clean showing good detail in the eyes and the lace.

Nice work and all the best in the contest.

Nice sketch. The facial expression is great. The details is great. The depth is great. The line shading is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and great job overall.

    Thank you, artist friend MKFlood. Your reviews and support mean so much. Thought this line and curve drawing of my sister in her senior high school would be fine to enter into that contest.
Comment from jesuel


what a great line drawing the design is both creative and unique and being a line drawing their is no shading but hints at where shadows should be fine work here

Comment from Ray Gordon


Close likeness of you, she being your sister, jaw line, smile, eyes. Very nice. The white that you used on the facial features, hair and lace worked fine and made nice hi-lites on the eyes and lids. Well framed and balanced.

Very interesting interpretation of line drawing. I think probably it is a good likeness. Your transfer of lines are clear. The portrait is centred and framed well. I tried to see your starting line and where you finished. You did very well. Good luck

This is an interesting work and most appropriate for the line contest. I like the various lines that make up the whole and most especially the detail of her eyes. Well done and best wishes for the contest!
