beautiful depth in this piece,very realistic and the use of chiaroscuro technique is evident throughout.I would love to see you do the full facial features in the same way on a larger canvas because I can imagine the presentation would be stunning..this is indeed a wonderful piece of artwork

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I think it is a very nicely done rendering using the various media.
I do think that the eye would have had even more life if the pupil was seen, even if ever so slightly.
The two tears make no sense to me, mainly because the tear at the tear duct does not look as it should coming from that part of the eye.

Even with that aspect not making any sense to me, (the reason fro the deduction in the 5 rating) it is a really nice use of the various media.

Have great day, cheers.
Lucien

Very affective piece for the contest. Bold and beautifully rendered. Catches one's attention immediately. Expresses sadness over memories or whatever perfectly. Well done and good luck.

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition provides us with a good look at that troubled eye. Wonder what brought on the tears? Like the textures and gleams that you achieved. Well done and good luck!
