This is fantastic!
The details are amazing.
I Love the way you did hair!! (I am a hairstylist by trade) the artwork is so realistic it looks like a black and white photo!! The detailing on the man's face really draws me in. Just all around awesome!!

This is an excellent drawing from Len Shood's photograph. I remember it well. Amazing light and shading in your artwork. Incredible attention to detail. Great contest entry and all the very best.

Raoul,
An amazing portrait of this exotily dressed Tuba player with wild looking "bird's nest" like hair. Created by your artist's eye for composition very very skilful draftsmanship & shading in bringing this gentleman to life.

Beautiful rendition and execution of subject. You have captured the expressive element of this musician's soul through the classical structure of drawing.

One of my favorite artist is back and surprise everyone with no color. That doesn't stop this very detailed artist to still bring his work to life. His expert shading brings the perfect depth that creates realistic feel thru out every inch of his work. The facial expression playing this instrument almost makes the view think they can really hear the music. The creation is well balance and very eye appealing to the viewer. It so good to see his work again knowing that he demonstrates the true meaning of don't ever stop believing. So very creative and awesome work overall. Stand up sir and take a bow because you earned every bit of this...(standing clapping and cheering) woohoooooooo

I really like Your little poem, and the drawing is just fantastic. I remember the photo you have used as a Reference, and at first glance I thought it was a double posting.

It is easy to see that this was done paying very good attention to details, and Your pencil work is just excellent. You have also used high lights so well, and I like the all neutral background.

The tight framing is Perfect, and the tuba player has got a very fine placement on the paper. Indeed a lovely and well done drawing Raoul.

So cool! The details and textures are wonderful and add so much life to it. I love his face and the wrinkles. and the wire feel of his hair. Well done!

Fantabulous portraiture with exquisite texture and impeccable presentation.

101% realism.
Meticulous attention even to the minutest details!
Visually appealing.
Facial expression is priceless.

Fine features & smooth textures. The entangled hair rendition is so impressive with a 3-dimensional effect!
Compact framing.

Should be a winner in my book!

Congratulations!
