Pastel pencila are a bugger to draw with! You've done a sterling job there me ol' bretheren of the cloth. She's beautiful

Well Done indeed

p.s. Andy turn the air-con down....

Andy, again... It's unbelieveable you did such a photorealistic portrait in 4 hours! It shows a big talent. Yet, I don't give this as high score as I gave to "Wondering", which seemed to me more creative.

She's really cute! Nice job!... but it seems to me there's too much noise on the pic...

This is wonderful. No crits from me. Other than the scan seems a bit soft.

Thanks for your comments so far everyone. I should of mentioned in the description about the poor scan quality.
I photographed the portrait using a standard digital camera.
I`m a little nervous of laying a pastel portrait down on a flat bed scanner in case the pastel becomes smudged.
Next time I`ll ask someone to take the photo with a steadier hand!

Again, thanks guys!

I prefer this to your other image. Not sure why people are critting the scan quality. It's plain to see it's a well executed piece. It's got a lot of life, which is unusual for a drawing from a photo. Nice work.

Wow, this is so well done that when I saw the thumb I thought your art was in the photo manipulation cat. and was surprised to find that you had done it in pastels! Wtg, can't wait to see what else you share with us!

Fantastic - as I know Molly in real life I can state that the image is identical to her; it is testament to your abilities that I was astounded when I saw the image - it does look like a photograph after having been passed through photoshop. Well done. Keep it up.

This is beautiful. U've captured it so naturally. She's very cute
Well done! +7!

Sick skills - that looks completely like a grainy old photo! +9

u have a beautiful daughter.
nice pastel work!
