Very nice. Keep working, by all means. The end will justify the means. I mean it, very nice work here. The Musician looks like he really deep in tune with his violin and thought. The facial expression against the dark background blends nicely bringing out his features excellently. The nice highlights in the face and hands tells the viewer that you are a very skilled artist doing your craft. Thanks for sharing

Gorgeous work. Such realism in the violin, left hand/fingers, and face of the guy. And the way you fade all in with the dark and more greenish-brownish background parts is so very nice. Great expressive work in pastels indeed!

It's a shame I'm out of sixes because this is a really nice pastel. And I like the way you've blended him into the background. Thank You for sharing

Great painting of the violinist that is in a complete focus on his performance.
Wonderful details, colors and so effective dark background.
Thank you for sharing.

Very nice work! No need for adjustments really, but personal preference would be to have a bit more definition between the two middle fingers... The work is very lifelike and the colors and attitude of the voilinist very well executed... Thanks for sharing!

This is such a remarkable work of art my friend you really achieved a masterpiece here with the painting of this man playing the violin. I love the lighting you created on his face and on his hands it's absolutely remarkable. I wish I had a six left to give you for this my friend it's really a tan though it's outstanding

I love the absorbed look of the violinist- it is as if he is totally immersed in playing his violin. I love the deftness behind those hand positions. The glasses on the face and long hair look impressive. Kudos

A good looking image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that musician concentrating hard on his playing. Colours, textures and tones are good. Well painted!

Ah this time a man! And is good, very good. The composition is natural and realistic in pose. The man's face, expression is beautifully done..I feel he is deep in his music. The violin is perfectly placed. I like the hand placements. His right hand is taking strong light .. I think ever so slight shading on the middle fingers will outline them more but it is fine as it is, just a little definition suggested. This in no way detracts from your presentation. It's lovely work.
