Hi Cyrille,

This is a delightful portrait! I love the impression of the high-key flooding of light, coupled with the crisp definition, and lively expression. It all goes together so well. Her family must be very pleased with your portraits. The execution is precise, direct, and masterful. Nothing is over labored or corrected. That's an enviable skill to have! Even in gray scale, there is a sense of color expressed.

I have browse the forum and read your critiques, Garth. So I know the weight of each one of your words. Thanks.
I read also that you have real groupies lol

I share your feeling.. a graphite portrait using all the scale of H and B is full of colour.

Dear Cyrille,

Thank you for sharing this charming drawing! It's obvious that you have a such a love and feel for the media. I love that lost edge along the outside of her right arm!

Very nice, Cyrille. I love the way you have handled the different textures of the hair, the skin and the fabric. Beautiful.

Cyrille,

I realize this is a bit late, however, I will add my comments anyway. I appreciate this drawing for its linework, craftsmanship, detail and style. Your lines are delicate, expressive and precise. I am glad you have posted here. This is drawn in the traditions I appreciate. The use of linework in your facial shading is difficult to execute, and you have succeeded. I truly enjoy this drawing.

Glad you are here.

Lon
