Comment from Angelheart The First
Good morning Linda,
Once again my Mom would have loved this because she thought this man was the most handsome man in the universe.There is no doubt that this has great initial impact and is a great example of what photo realism is.I would never question anything at all in your composition and presentation.If my Mom were still alive you can bet I would have worked my fingers to the bone to purchase this or the prior drawing for her.It's no doubt,whatsoever why you are the number one traditional artist.Stunning work,my friend~
Angelheart :)

I reserved my last bonus star for you!
This is worth an extra rating because of the meticulous details especially the facial features & the creases & folds of his costume.
An impressive artwork rendition.
Sepia rendition. Realistic creation with excellent strokes & textures.
Good compositional style.
Great overall impact!
Thanks for sharing...

Comment from Mara del Mar
Wow! Really this facial expression of Sam is unique! Wonderful portrait. The lighting and the skin tones are perfect, like the moustaches and baleful look. Excellent composition, texture and frame. Well done
