I especially like that you have actually attached a photo f your model, because a lot of artists don't do. This lets the reviewer see how the original looks, and you have indeed done a great job. I think I like this lady with long hair as well.

I think especially the hair is well done, but the rest of the drawing is also done paying a very good attention to details. Good use of shadows, and with a nice neutral background.

The format is perfect, and the lady is well placed on the paper. I think this is one of the best you have done Linda.

Comment from Thomas Blanks


Hope you get to feeling better. Charlize is one of my favorite actresses. I dedicated one of my books to her, saying she would be the perfect one to play the lead character, a female deputy who hunts down a serial killer. Nicely done.

Comment from Way West


Very nicely done! I like your use of shading and light and the finite details of her face, especially her eyes and expression. Sorry to hear that you have been ill, my best wishes for a speedy recovery!

    Thank you so so much. Your comments and great rating have lifted my spirits. I will do my best to do more sketches and I?m going to try acrylic portraits as well. Maybe charcoal as well. Thank you so much!
Comment from Ray Gordon


You have been sketching for a while, but this is by far one of your best if not the best, the features are excellent the shading is great, It is obvious you were drawing what you saw and it worked. This is some accomplishment, stay with it and try some still lifes too, just draw what you see and you enjoy it so much. Ray

Comment from alaskapat


Well I must say : I am impressed! She is a beautiful woman and I think you did a remarkable job in sketching her, awesome work on her hair and I like the way you pushed it back on her left , her face is well shaped and structured, well shown expression .her eyes are well shaped and nicely emphasized by her brows and lashes, very natural looking .nice nose and mouth , good shading on her neck and her chin is well defined. I like her small hoop earrings ! Her eyes bring her to life!
You are obviously very talented!
Well presented! Thank you for sharing! I hope you feel 100% better very soon !

    Wow thank you so much. I asked my husband and my son if they recognized who it was and they both said nope don?t know who it is. I felt like I failed but I could see a resemblance myself so I decided to take a chance that everyone will see it too.

    I so appreciate the six and the awesome review comments. You have lifted my spirits so much. The next one I do of her I want to try acrylic painting. When I feel up to it and after Christmas because I want to try Christmas decorations again. Thank you so so much.

Linda, I'm so sorry to hear you've been ill. But your sketch is lovely. The shading and highlights are well done and I definitely see a resemblance to Charlize.
