Very realistic and looks drinkable Amanda. The bottle is like me in one respect...one shoulder doesnt match the other as i am sure you will have noticed ( on the bottle !)

A really good painting Amanda and as you say, not easy with pencils. Can't see much wrong with the bottle except as Syd points out the shoulders. Reflections are great and I love the bottle top. Well done. A lot has been said about photorealism but, at the end of the day we can do as we like and, as far as I know, there are no art police - yet! Well done.

This is truly realistic, Amanda, the reflections in the bottle are superb. I thought it is not easy with pencils.

An approach that has proved successful Amanda and why worry about it, we can have a go at anything.

I had a few conversations about photorealism recently during which I made the tentative claim that I probably could if I was so inclined. This was an attempt to prove that claim... with limited time (2 or 3 hours, I think) and what may not have been the best choice of media (Derwent Drawing and Coloursoft pencils on black paper, with a little Uniball black and white). Let's just say that it attempts to approach photorealism.
