It's great!!!Good work

deandude  04/19/06 @642

pretty good Valera! I do think the ear is a wee bit big though....the photo you used for the reference is a very cool photo! +8

Kelandra  04/19/06 @647

Nice drawing.

Valera  04/19/06 @671

Thanks for your comments. I tried to publish the full version of the drawing, but I guess it is too large so it has been automatically resized. I had to cut the sides of the drawing so that I could publish here at least a bit larger version… so here is the correction.

Nice drawing, great expression! The ear looks a tad too big indeed. Some parts look a little bit rushed though, maybe that was your aim (the fabric and neck) +7

Wallace  04/19/06 @812

great technique on the drawing. Agree with the ear, but overall impression is excellent + 8

Fyralath  04/20/06 @827

Great portrait! Great shading and detail's!

Cigaro  04/20/06 @866

good work...her left eye is a bit too up and i have to agree with diane, its a bit rushed still...good work...maybe you could spend a bit more time on it?i'm sure its for the best

Valera  04/20/06 @942

Thanks for the comments people Cigaro, I'll spend more time on my next work

another knockout, I love the texture and the mood it sets, the loose lines leave for an aged looked that you would not achieve without them.

Madanapale  04/21/06 @208

Beautiful pencil work!....well done! Carlos

ThruMyEyez  04/22/06 @770

Very good likeness! Well done!

Freiz  04/23/06 @147

Nice portrait! True, it has its flaws as others have pointed out, but in countenance it takes a very strong likeness to the person, and that in itself marks skill.

buzzz3d  04/23/06 @877

Very nice drawing!

Archaenon  04/23/06 @914

Its got a very loose neat look to it. Very subtle shading. I like.

Valera  04/29/06 @997

Thank Very much for the comments

SaintThyrael  04/29/06 @248

im amazed at how you're able to do this just by pure impression.. or how it's called. GOOD WORK!

RobertVovk  05/03/06 @839

Don't know much about drawings, but I like it

siffert  05/04/06 @711

Very good expression!

artwithin  05/04/06 @945

Valera, this is very poignant! The most striking part of your drawing is how you captured your grandmothers eyes. Wow! They tell such a story. This had to be very precious for your mom. Wonderful work of art my firend.

bakatron  05/05/06 @409

this is really well done valera. capturing veneration is one of the hardest things in art. 10/10

DreamShadow  05/12/06 @783

nice she is beautiful but i think the pencil strokes are a bit too hard...it kinda takes away the delicacy just my opinion

thesoulbeyond  05/12/06 @839

very nice

stymied  05/18/06 @809

the facial features are beautifully articulated. love that shading, especially on her cheekbone. great portrait.

Punny  05/19/06 @787

very nice

josephcaesarsd  05/23/06 @154

nice work!!!

Anges  05/26/06 @365

Wow, great job! It does look like her, no doubt about it. I took a good look. The only thing that seems just a litlle bit different is her mouth. It is a bit smaller than the photo. I bet your mom liked it a lot! +8/8

MaLize  05/26/06 @423

Great expression +8

leloops  05/27/06 @756

curlyhair  06/09/06 @554

I think it's a wonderfull present. And I think it is very close to photo - you've got a great talant of catching personality. Meod meragesh. Lo raiti safta cvar 8 shanim ve ani shomat eih akol shelia mizdaken be telefon :S

DifferentArt  06/13/06 @828

This is great, you are very talantful artist

Valera  06/22/06 @930

Wow, thanks for the positive comments everyone

MorriganRose  06/26/06 @027

Sorry tohear about your loss thats really sweet of you to draw this for your mom, I really love the expression on her face and the emotion in her eyes, very well done.

eithedog  07/10/06 @889

The full version feels better, with the border. And although i have to agree that her ear feels to big i think that you've captured her thoughts and her mood very well. Immortal

uncannyman  07/12/06 @280

The eyes are the main focus...they draw ya in to the piece. Nice job!

nyctoinc  08/21/06 @803

Roreana  08/29/06 @664

ViolentContact  01/01/07 @475
