This is incredible. You must put in hours upon hours on one piece, your attention to detail is astounding, achieving all the different textures we see in the piece. What I like the best, however, is the softness which which you rendered your sleeping angel! He's adorable!

Excellent Geary,
This is a great reference photo and a fantastic detail so far. Can't wait to see the whole thing finished. You really have a nice touch. You don't need no stinkin day job...

Beautifully rendered drawing. I like the overall mood the soft edges have created. Nice!

Geary,

What a wonderful drawing! It is so very difficult to show the soft round forms in an infant's face, without either over modeling them, or losing them altogether. Very, very beautiful.
