Jak,
I think you did a great job making this resemble a Mary Cassatt painting. I have to admit I was not familiar with Cassatt's painting style until I examined it but you seem to have copied it very well especially in the color scheme and brush strokes.

A bit dark, but an excellent hand-drawn quality. Leaving the torn edges gives an antique look.

VERY NICE interpretation, Jak. Really like the sketchiness.

Really nice!

I see you went for the "drawn" end of the
spectrum. There were so many different types
of styles to look at in the examples.

I think you did a beautiful job of capturing the
Cassatt feel.
