Hi Carrie…I have so often looked at your portfolio…now I must also say somethinbg: STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL….that’s all….Bert

Eye catching,gorgeous work.

wow great work carrie you are like the greatest charcoal drawer of all time

This is really coool!! Louie is one of my all time favorite musicians. You portray his character so well in this image. You even included his signature handkerchief. That tells me alot about your style as an artist, and your attention to detail. The veigns in his hand, the ring on his finger, the lines in his face, as well as the gleam in his eyes are all great examples of this.
The tones, and three dimentional qualities are a testament to your perfection as an artist.
This is excellent work!

Wonderful art work and wonderful talent!!

Of all the fine drawings I’ve seen on this site, I think yours are the very best, Carrie.
Artistic talent and ability at this level is rare, a gift, and inspiring – something to aim at!
Your detailed description of how the drawing was created, is also excellent.
Stunning! – and I’m not surprised the work is sold.

Well done! astonishing work!

Breathtaking detail, I thought it was a photo just brilliant. I am a fan of detailed pencil drawing and I did play the trumpet so this really connects with me. Thankyou for share this masterpiece!
