This is spectacular, absolutely amazing. It's so real, the detail... gasping for words. Wow. ;-}

:-) Katherine Mason replies: "Heh...thanks..^_^;"

Wait this is done in pastel? How? It's so amazing! And i like how you picture merlin. It's not what you normally see. It really looks like a photo....I have absolutley nothing as far as criticism,although it's quite presumptuous to think that i'm good enough to criticize people....hehe I'm babbling, sorry =D

:-) Katherine Mason replies: "Heh..thanks. It wasn't done with regular pastels..like the chalky kind-it was done with cray pas. They're kinda..oily pastels. Much easier to work with in my opinion ^_^"

What do you mean we won't see many more people up here?!!

This piece is outstanding! The detail and wonderful use of pastels is impressive! Don't sell yourself short. Keep drawing people! They can be tough to render because we are all so familiar with the subject matter that minor innacuracies seem like neon signs (especially to the artist) but that challenge also makes them the most rewarding to complete. Keep it up!

:-) Katherine Mason replies: "Never were truer words spoken. I have actually done a few more human drawings..but because they aren't fantasy oriented, I haven't been able to put them up =/ Ah well. Thanks for the kind words 1"

Wow - he's just so..so...good! There is nothing not to like about this! You really should keep drawing people (and post!) - you're great at it!

:-) Katherine Mason replies: "^__^" heh, thanks. I -will- start posting again soon.."

Lovely and kind/worried look in his eye.
And the skin colour is nicely done. On contraire (sp??? XD) I think you should experiment a bit more in this style, you are doing wonderfull.

I probably can't say much that already hasn't been said, but this is fantastic. The artisrty and the expression all combine flawlessly. I love it! Merlin looks like he's worrie about something, or in deep contemplation.
