I see what you're saying about the lips. But man I gotta tellya, this is gorgeous work! Very nice to see "traditional" media used so expertly. You do so inspire me.

Beautifully done!!!

Excellent work on the hair, this is awesome!

Nice work, I myself am primarily a pencil artist and I have to say that it is my favorite medium. It does need some work, but realistic illustration, particularly portrait work, can be complicated. You have it down very good.

Excellent work Anthony... the only thing that I see right now is that one of the pupils is larger than the other... a minute detail I know but I did notice it :)... everything else is almost perfect in my eyes.. You definately are getting really good at this :) Good Job!!

This is wonderful work Anthony the only thing that throws me is the lighting and shadows I assume its WIP as the unfinished areas contrast with the light appearing to be from the bottom left. Your fine art style lovely to see, my congratulations again.

Even From Russia you bring here the quality of a gorgeous pencil work. It seems that the trouble with paper didn't affect the beauty of this one :) Let me shake vigorously your hand my dear: you have reached a fantastic level :) And I am so happy about it, that I can't stop to smile :) Luv :)

Great pic, exceptional photorealism!

Aaahhh, this is really beautiful!!! Anthony, you amaze me! :-)

Stunning Talent - Beautiful Work -

This is Awesome with a capital "A"! Wow! I love everything about this but the hair really stands out for me!

A gorgeous work, Anthony! Love her beautiful eyes and that hair is great!

Anthony my special friend - whether or not this is a 'work in progress' or not - I would keep a copy of this excellent render before you add so much as another pencil mark. The beautiful contrast between the left and right causes the portraiture such a dramatic impact, that were it added to, I think it would spoil the force of the image. The hair on this one is the best you have done to date, and I love the eyes glancing sideways because it makes the render casual and unposed in appearance. The small daisy cresting her hair is a definitive touch of absolute beauty. Truly an excellent addition to your gallery of growing amicable drawings. Another willing vote from me!

Hey, very good amigo :)) Nice to see your work again :)

Do u ever come up with anything that is short of being excellent, ur amazing man.

I agree with racin-jason, the contrast gives the intensity to your work.

yo you are very skilled XD this is great work X)

Besides the lips, you've made a wonderful portrait! Wonderful hairdetails too! :)

Very skilled, very skilled indeed. the hair, is absolutely incedible along withthe great shading on the face. Yhe eyes have such striking contrast that they envoke fear. I am very impressed.
