Simply lovely to look at. Clean, elegant, sensual. The choice of monotone allows you to effortlessly concentrate on the subject without having to subconciously process too much visual information. The detail in the hair sets it all off. Full range of light to dark executed well, would like to have seen a couple more of the darker tones in places.... no, on second thougt, that might take away from it. Really very nice.

That was a great edit, Rich. The coloration really warmed this up beautifully. Nice to see you drawing

So amazing. One of the most beautiful photorealistic pieces I've ever seen.

Very beautiful. I think I know the difference between me and many of the other painters here, now.For example, this is very smooth,finished,and slick.It' very professional. Good job. I do not tend to like going all the way to smooth,finished,and photo-like. I like the paint(figuratively) to look and feel like paint.I even like it similar to paint, messy and gooey. And there seems to be a tendency here, to like everything very smooth,slick,and finished. Guess I am out of the groove. I just like allowing for different styles,and different veiwpoints of what painting and drawing is.

Actually, Dot, this is quite impressionistic compared to the photograph, not an attempt at photo-realism at all.

Could you ever love the one who had taken from you that which you held most dear?

Edit: I forgot exactly what I was thinking when I started this so the background is kind of lame and doesn�t really fit�

The design is very cool, the wing is a great detail. :)
You should follow Gigandas advice ;)

i like that he doesnt stand out from the background..i think thats why i keep coming back to look at it. to figure out exactly what and where he is within the composition of the piece. although its easy to discern once you look for a moment, its the fact that you have to pause at all that i enjoy. if that makes any sense. probably not.

That makes perfect sense to me, actually, and it explains why I like it. It's sort of like looking out a fuzzed up window in the springtime with raindrops on it.

you know, Kristine, if you hate it so much, delete it-these pictures are for you, if you dont like them dont feel pressured to share them. At least don't downplay people's compliments when they actually mean them.

Some of us (*cough* me *cough*) can't even draw a nice line with a mouse. And you seem to do miracles. You shouldn't belittle yourself like that. When I saw this, I was really mesmerized by it and I was like 'wow...' and like Anna, it does make me cozy. :)

I did not read any comments, and do not know what is going on but.... I like this picture! ^^

This is awesome. The silhouet is superb and I love the background :)
