SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Princess

Very well done and life-like, especially in your highlights and shading of the skin. I agree that you can achieve some amazing detail with mechanical pencils, but anything I do with them often seems too sharp and defined. Here you managed some softness in addition to the detail. Well done.

aaaawwww... so keeeute! This is a beautiful drawing... I'd say more, but there's obviously nothing to criticize

exellent work, fantastic realism...

This is by far your most impressive piece in the gallery. I makes me wonder why I have not drawn my own kids. I guess a fear of failure has always languished in my head. Anyway, you have overcome that and created a darling piece of artwork. You really should be proud, both of the child and the drawing.
Thank you, this is my favorite piece also. But I do have to point out this piece is partly digital. I added parts to the original. As stated above you can see the original at my private gallery, anything you don't see on that was added using the computer. I myself was impressed with the results. The added pieces look so much like the scanned parts that I can't tell where the one stops and the other starts, and I know!!!

She's so cute!!!!! I love her ears ^_- You're amazing with shading.

This is really cool. The realism is awesome, and she looks all sort of chubby and pampered I love it

*laugh* I can't believe no one has commented on her adorable ears yet!!! *grin* Yes, you have done an excellent job with whatever modifications you made - I can't tell where additions are either. It would be nice to see a bit more developed background in this picture in particular... but that's just my tastes You've done a wonderful job with all the shading overall, but especially on the skin - oneday I must learn your tricks

Personally, I do not find babies cute or attractive and such, however, I must comment and say that this is exceptionally well done.
I have been drawing for years and was an art student in a family with several artists. I have of late seen disturbingly few people, proportionate to the number of artists works I see, that can do portraits well.
I particularly like black and white.

*giggles* awe isn't she cute.

I haven't been able to master the drawing of babies yet.
I can't seem to get their pudgy faces to look pudgy... trying to master the proportions of adults is easier than babies, I think... you don't want them to look like blobs right!?
She is so cute and she looks so happy. Awesome.

She is so unbelievable cute! I love this piece!
