[Jimmie Arroyo]

Another impressive piece. Went immediately to your website for the larger version. Your patience and determination shows well.

Isabel,
This blows me away! I don't know how you do it, this must have taken hours and hours??? Congratulations on another amazing portrait drawing.

I too went immediately to your site. Better hurry and reply so I can go look around more.

Do you know what struck me about this (aside from the incredible painstaking detail)? I felt like I was looking at a color piece! Is it only me? It really gave me the feeling of color-unlike any other graphite work I have seen.

Excellent work, Isabel. You must be a very patient person on top of your great skill.

Wow.

Isabel, I love this piece. You have such a sophitication in your vision, as well as execution. Would you think about a step-by-step mini demo of your process?

[Michele Rushworth]

Wow -- such living texture, especially in the hair and sweater. I also like the mystery of the model's expression.

Hello Isabel,

I love this piece. What a display of your craftsmanship and talent, capturing the spirit and physical domain.

Beautiful.

My ultimate goal is to combine my techniques with my emotions and concepts to communicate with the viewers.

I took the quote above from Isabels website,

Isabel,

I think you have achieved your goal, soemtimes photo-realism can look very plastic, but not in your hands.

This definitely communicates with me

Beautifully done! The expression, the hair, the detail on the sweater and the hand by her face. . . Lovely!
