Your color pencil work is exceptionally done. I do not put much faith in many judges because when it comes right down to it, it's still personal opinion on their part. I also do color pencil and your work is like I said some of the best I have seen! Honorable mention is still an honor. Unfortunately the links did not work for me.
Artist Reply: Yes. Links doesn’t work anymore for some reason. Check an e-mail, please. And thanks for looking.
Love your art too :)
