PRO/ADVANCED WINNER - Sorina Williams

Why it won:

The reason we felt this was the winning piece was that first of all the likeness is spot-on, you captured her essence with strong emotion, you were creative to add your own unexpected flare to this but the thing that stands out the most is the detail as seen in the realism of the hands. Love all the wispy pieces of hair as well. Once you really start to look at this image you notice all the subtle colors that are used with both warm and cool tones – it’s just beautiful!

 BEGINNER/STUDENT WINNER - Tonya Ohrel

Why it won:

We are so fascinated with how you did this as a “reverse” image, using grey pencils on black paper, for a “black and white” image. I know it was a struggle but the results are breath-taking and I hope you are are as excited with the results as we are! The skin is soft and I have to note the perfection with the pinky (funny how something so small can make such an impact!), while I have to also comment that I think the mole on her forehead needs to be either more defined or eliminated all together. Those eyes and detail in the hair are excellent. I am glad to see you left in the dark circles as I think this give personality and emotion to the overall image. Thank you for your inspiring entry!
