A very commendable illustration for an Appeal. I like that you chose the American Shot construction. The details are intricate. The scene is emotional. Skillfuly drawn. A good presentation. My realising of line art is simple lines in uninterrupted application... this has a different interpretation but I see how that is still true only an alternative. I think this will do well.

Strong emotional impact, this beautiful , innocent young girl stands in front of the war torn buildings holding the flowers of her country during this horrific time , they need our help. I think you have rendered this very well Ray , allowing a glimpse into what this young girl is having to endure. I like the flowers on her head, to me that shows that they are staying hopeful and not giving up!
Well arranged and presented! Good entry for this contest! Best wishes to you !

This is a wonderful statement/tribute that hits our particular time well. I really like the clean simplicity of the lines you have used to make up this work. It feel clean, sharp and to the point which is, I'm sure how you intended. Well done and best wishes for the contest.

This drawing touches the emotions of the viewers. The proud poise of the girl, who is holding the sunflowers of the Ukraine is impressive. The symbolic meaning of the drawing is immediately understood by the viewers.
The drawing is excellent composed. Proportions and perspective are correct. The tall format is sufficient. The girl and the buildings have a perfect placement within the frame. The composition is balanced.

So beautiful and tender drawing of this innocent girl pleading for help.
Ray, this is such touching artwork with so much needed message.

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


Thanks for the message of your fine drawing. The theme deserves a "6"; parts of the drawing a "5"; and a few parts a 4.5 due to crookedness of the doors in the lower image and other unfinished. But it is still very nice line and curve, circle drawing.

    I like when you think of 5 or 6. There are no doors, all windows. When you have to decide forget about a 4.5, Go for the 6 or 5. I am sure my artist friend would agree.

    Great. So true. Really nice drawing, artist friend Ray. Even your words are rather prettily written. And, thanks again for sharing. It all is good,
