My gosh. This is so beautiful... I really had a hard time convincing myself that this was a drawing and not a photo from the sheer detail and shading.... So insanely amazing and created with such deep emotion... You have such amazing talent, never give it up.

Like most of the others, I also thought this was a photograph at first. However, there are certain qualities that give it away as a drawing.
I have to say, though, that the hair on both subjects is beautifully done. Hair is always very difficult to render faithfully.
I did a similar thing at school for a competition. I copied a photograph of a cow in a field. I spent absolutely ages on it, completely freehand. They wouldn't accept it, because they said I had traced it. It wasn't even the same size as the original. My drawing was much bigger. I was totally destroyed by that. I've never attempted to do anything like it since. It hurts so much when someone questions your integrity like that.
Since you've spent so much time on this drawing, I wouldn't dream of being critical. I'll just echo everything that's been said before me. The main thing is that the two people in it adored it. What more can you ask?

exactly , to embrace their love for each other and make it into a piece of art was a wonderful experience for me to be a part of . their love is genuine , humble and honest . i just wanted a traditional look to accompany that .
thats such a shame about your own story 
but thankyou for being so kind (as always) i honestly dont mind anyone being critical about my work , if they find a flaw in one piece its a flaw i can stop from happening again in my next ! thus making me a better artist hopefully

wow this is absolutely amazing!
at first glance i thought it was a photograph! Until i noticed what category it's under....and i must say, you have a wonderful talent, to produce such a work like this and make it look photographic. And i see no mistakes (not that i was looking for anyway), very well done, it looks so smooth as well, it's just perfect! Bravo, and keep it up!

I can't imagine. But maybe your heartbreak adds to the emotion. I'm sure you will find your Love and be drawing your own bliss one day soon.
