And still such a beautiful smile that reaches her eyes, she must love you to bits and vice-versa of course, you drew the love in her eyes that's kinda miraculous, wow
ReplyDeleteShe still has the smile, and it still lights up the room.
DeleteThank you
She is SO beautiful...and I love the way you've captured the light falling onto those stunning features, endowing them with a truly ethereal quality.
ReplyDeleteIs she standing in moonlight?
I have been reviewing old photos to find her portrait through the years.
DeleteThe reference photo for this sketch was taken in a garden, lit from the sun from what I can tell. The grey of the paper here I think brings forth the moon.
Thank you
