PRO/ADVANCED WINNER - Angela Ali
WHY IT WON:
It’s all in the details. There were other
entries that were very competitive with this
piece but it really came down to the details.
First let me acknowledge how SPOT ON this is
to the original – but better. I can’t say
enough about the skin tone, highlights,color
choices and mad rendering abilities! The
details that pushed this over the edge was
really 1. the veil – this was one of those
things that many people were probably
surprised to be a point of struggle and even
as you said, you had to put a concerted
effort into making this look right. Who would
think that something so unassuming would be
such a fantastic area in the art. 2. The
jewelry – the metal looks like metal and you
really pulled off the bokeh in the far left
pieces. 3. The hair – more specifically ...
the hair on her shoulder just adds a level a
realism that is really hard to do with
colored pencils as typically it is a one-shot
deal, unlike with digital or some paint
mediums. So glad you participated and
thrilled to have the level of talent in this
art competition!
STUDENT/BEGINNER WINNER - Jessica Padua Lingle
WHY IT WON:
Our top criteria when judging is always
skill. You executed this wonderfully and
really captured the essence of the photo. We
loved your color palette and the use of color
over the whole image. The details are
striking on her eyelashes and browse as well
as the hair but I think it is the eyes that
really make this piece a stand out. The
close-up crop really shows this off and
although the other entry you submitted, with
the whole image in view is lovely and
definitely shows you did the work, the
tighter composition just worked a little
better for your areas of strength. We also
wanted to acknowledge that, although it
didn’t sway our decision, we appreciated your
multiple attempts to get this piece just
right and feel that your efforts paid off in
the end and are especially impressed that
this is a first colored pencil portrait for
you. Thank you for your submission, we look
forward to seeing more!
