This is gorgeous. Your textures are amazing and the shading is beautiful.

wow! this is like a photo!! wonderful!!

Such an interesting light...seems to give a real sense of the environment/atmosphere. The skin on her cheek is extremely tactile....very nice.

WOW this is awsome, the detail is excellent! i love it :)

INCREDIBLE ! I thought that was a photograph ! just WOW ! AWSOME :'D

This picture is perfect, amazing job.

Very very excellent! I love the sky and clothing. Like everyone else said: Wow!

Really good piece! The clothing is particularly good. Nice work!

Truly art! Moosh, this is such a beautiful drawing. I would love to have this hanging in my house. I especialy love the lighting of the picture, the detail in the fabric and water container. Congratulations for such a nice drawing :]

This is very good. It looks like a real photo.

I'm surprised this didn't get into the showcase yet...?

Incredibly detailed
The background is just as interesting and well done as the foreground
excellent work

That' just amazing. I'm awe struck by it. Incredibly good work. This definitely deserves to make the showcase.

Beautiful. I love the mat finish and the eerie lighting.

Moosh, I enjoy your work, very much.
Excellent.

Oh wow! that is just beautiful! wonderful attention to detail. The clothes looks worn and well-used, the background looks very convincing. And you've done her face very nice, shading is superb. I also like the "eerie lighting". Makes me wonder whether it is day time or evening.

I like the picture, both because of your extremely great drawing talent and the very interesting subject! I like people from different parts of the world! <:)

my, this is lovely! i am surprised at the realism in the sky and the technique of the ground, all is pulled of wonderfully

i love the colors! freakin' awesome!

That's amazing, it's got atmosphere and mood and everything...

as good as a photograph... how boring would that be. this is so much more interesting than a photo.

I love the texture on the loose tucked up part of her skirt as well as the maroon part in the front.

Holy crap! This is really F-n Good! Great job. :}

Wow. Its...so...realistic!

Photorealistic.

I LOVE this picture! Her clothes, the jar, the background, her face, EVERYTHING looks perfect! And she's so pretty! It looks exactly like the reference picture! Congrats on showcase! This picture DEFINATELY deserves it!

I have this terrible confession to make. I used to paint here for comments, critiques, help. Sometimes I would do a painting I liked and wonder why no one commented. Maybe they didn't like it or maybe they just didn't have time. I have been so negligent in not only commenting on things I see that are wonderful, but also in browsing at all. I viewed this painting briefly a few times and thought WOW, this is soooo good, this is rare talent, but I actually didn't have time to "stop and smell the roses" as they say. I had a moment of free time tonight, and I decided to spend it admiring this wonderful work of art. Every little thing about it is so perfect... the highlight on the pottery, the impending storm about to brew behind the deceptive puffy clouds, the wonderful colors you used to show the way that lighting would affect her "garb"... and that not old but before digital photography effect (maybe 70's 80's photography) that you have duplicated so well. I could endlessly admire dozens of paintings like this. You, my dear, have oodles of talent. Keep nurturing it. It makes me want to be there to offer to carry that jug for her. :)

Thank you very much, DBA. :)

Holy crap... the whole picture looks life like, it looks like a photograph. You did a really good job drawing this Moosh!

I came across the ref for this the other day, you did a really good job, although i noticed you didn't bother with the flowery pattern :p

I really love all the detail and colors throughout this one. This is full of interest, love that about it.

very superior treatment;not artificial,or "photoish";I like the blue like shadows on the figure,and how the blue shadow tones meld the whole picture together.very beautiful.

amazing

I've come back to this so often!! I can't get over it. :)

This is one of the best drawings on this site.

Amazing depth of color and texture, and what a different choice of subject.

Was a fine piece
