I think this is the most realistic drawing/painting I have ever seen. The skin is amazing.

KGH: You need to see more art then. This is a good piece but it's not superior or even that interesting, imo. This is more of a reflection of another artists perspective (the original photographer), opposed to being a true, unique connection with the subject matter. The girl who painted this piece was more of a "spectator" than an artist, at least from what I knew about her. Some people think they can just dabble in anything, come and go as they please but in the end, they'll never truly gain anything from the expereince. True expression takes dedication, understanding and sacrifice, I don't see any of those qualities here.

very beautiful ^^

theres a lot right with it! brilliant picture...

Hi Gemmy!! LTNS!! Am looking thru your gallery now and am blown away!! YouDraw has died a slow and paintful death basically and many of us are over at sketchfu.com. Its a very fun site., The drawing tools are not as good as the ones here but still good enough to do complicated draws. I do miss a lot of my YD friends who are over here. I'll stop by from time to time.

This draw is magnificent!! Very impressed.

beautiful!! perfect skin tones and lighting!

This is nicely done. Profiles can be hard but you did hers well. It's silly but I'm loving how you made the cloth near the armpit look likes it's not simply resting there but there's a space between the cloth and the skin. Very subtle and well done that.

Sweetcell, I had changed that spot, originally it looked terrible and it bothered me. I was happy with it too. :-) I have an easier time with profiles than the full face for some reason, I am trying one right now of Angelina and I can't get her face right to save my life. But I am not giving up, hopefully you will see that here soon as well. and Wittle Fawah, her hair was very hard, actually I believe I lightened it too much, but by the time I was done with it, I was afraid to change it anymore. Thank you both for your nice comments.

beautiful, love the highlighting in this one!

Raggedy Ann! :) I loved the book, and my Raggedy Ann doll was one of my favorites, although I put her through way more hell than Marcella did in the stories...my Alaskan Simoan dog Snow White ripped my Raggedy Ann's head off in the end. I think we should start calling Marcello "Marcella"... it's much closer to home. :D

I'm glad you did this picture, it brought back lots of funny memories, and you did such a cute job in depicting them.

Thanks everyone for the great comments on these, I guess they are just "Old Favorites" of a lot of people. Actually I do paint a lot of childrens characters for pay but on canvas I do much better than on the net. I am really not half as good as I would like to be. I have painted so many Winnie the Pooh pictures I have grown not to like "The Pooh" much. LOL My favorite childrens characters to paint is Disney, Mickey and Minnie. I just love them and could never paint them enough.

absolutely adorable!

hehe i luv it! I hear the Dance song by Jamiraqoui that Napoleon dances to in ND

Have to humbly admit that this one was my favorite also..:)

Well I'm a draftsman so I can draw house plans, but I don't know all the building codes.
I mess mostly with very expensive giant machines.

King TaCO! ROFL! Good one! Love the King TaCO drawing!
