Wow I'm actually in awe. I was impressed with them as photographs and then realised they were charcoal drawings.
I would definately hang these in my house, and would pick up a book of her work if it were ever made.

Generally good, her technique with the charcoal is very crisp, and she's got a talent for portraying textures and folds of skin and fabric. My only complaint is that her proportions are just slightly off. She'll draw a pair of ankles together, and yet one ankle and calf isn't propotionally accurate compared to it's mate, even taking into consideration one's in front of the other. It's not that noticeable, but something I spotted.
She's got an interesting choice of subject and composition. I'd be interested in seeing what she could do with all the negative space. I realize she's stylistically fond of the black/white figures on a white background, but should she decide to branch out, that white background has so much potential. I'd also love to see what she could do with color.

I was an art curator and can honestly say ur wifes got so much potential. I hope she markets herself properly and she does not become a proteture for the art industry. I love it! My fav..the hands and feet..because of all the detail, I personally wish I could draw elderly people because of all the detail. I like the fact that I have to take a closer look at the person to see that its not perfect.
Well done!

Great subjects, especially the hands and feet which can be remarkably expressive. However, the focal point is not always clear with some of the others, such as the tatoos. Basically, she shows clear talent. Good luck to her in her career -- a tough one to pursue.

Amazing! You have a talent but also draw something else besides legs and hands. :) Keep up the great work!

Eerily realistic ...They look as if they are photos.
Kind of spooky.
Obviously very talented but I wouldn't want one of those in my house.
Good Luck
