Re: moustachio

I think it's great! Without seeing the reference photo I can't really critique, but it looks really very good to me! Nice work! =)) Cheers. Debs.

Re: moustachio

The face looks great! The rest looks good too in detail and everything, but it seems to me that he isn't angled away from us enough for his right shoulder to be so much wider than the left...

It looks fine when I cover one or the other up and look, but when I look at both at once it seems that one needs to be wider or the other less so. Not having seen the reference photo I could be wrong though.

Either way, very very nice apart from that (:.

Re: moustachio

I like your portrait but not the background. I don't think that blue helps this painting. Be a little bolder and look for some other colors and feather them from light to dark or blend different colors. I presume that you have captured the likeness. Nice job.
