Hi Cyrille,

I am sorry I missed this last week as well. I agree with Steven; you have a gorgeous drawing and composition, and you certainly captured the life, joy, and subtle individuality in your very handsome twin subjects. This was no easy accomplishment that you did so well.

I also echo Steven that something significant seems missing and flattened in the extremely pale tonality of their countenances. I also suspect it's your photograph presented here that washes out all the highest values. I copied your photo into Photoshop to have a better look at it, and have detected there is a lot of subtle modeling of forms in very high key values, that became lost when you photographed this. Please, is there any way you can re-photograph this to better capture all the range of values? Your drawing is worth a closer look.

Sincerely,

Garth
