This is a great portrait of Morgan Freeman. You have really captured his expression and likeness very well. I know he would be impressed. Your technique at creating dimension and foreshortening with the charcoal is very well done. I especially like his beard. All your tiny little strokes make it look very real.

Yes absolutely, one of my favorites as well. You did a great job portraying his character and features. I did not even have to think twice about who this was. Great job, and thank you for sharing.

Hi Maureen, I knew the moment I saw this who you drew! This is Morgan Freeman. He isa great actor and I always enjoy seeing him. You did a great job of portraying him. His facial features are spot on. Anyone who knows Morgan should recognize him immediately. Very cool and awesome work!

    Thank you very much Ray for your wonderful review and high rating. I think I’ve seen every movie he’s been in and really love him.
Comment from Kirsten Shonle


Wow, just wow. This picture is very realistic and you did it in charcoal, a hard medium to work with. The lite and darkness gives the feel of reality. The depth is great here. Love the background being in a lighter color, this makes his face really stand out. The image really drew me in. Thank you for sharing.

How about I give you one more Hint? He is not only from Holly Springs, Mississippi (my home area neck of the woods) but he still maintains his house there. He is kinda a hero in the town. Now if you go 60 miles easy you arrive at Elvis Presley home town Booneville(suburb of tupelo) or go 40 miles to Memphis where access Kathy Bates and singer Justin Timberlake or how about go 40 miles south to Mound Bayou (Charlie Pride)..few more miles Shaw (Football legend Archie Manning) or just a few more miles to my hometown (Jim Henson). Kermit was based from his friend and classmate Kermit Scott. You know when your in the middle of nowhere flatland Mississippi Delta..it is depressing but amazing how many famous people come from my area..oh yeah did you know Oprah is Originally from Yazoo City? It's not a good área so I don't blame here adopting Chicago. So much for history and onto the review. The facial is great. The details is great. The shading is great. The depth is great. The presentation is balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. Creative and awesome work overall

    Thank you for the information you’ve given me in regards to where he lives. I’ve never met any famous people, but if I wanted to, this would be the gentleman I definitely would want to meet. I think I’ve seen every movie he’s been in and he never disappoints. Thank you so much for your time in reviewing my artwork. I hope I did him justice.

It's Morgan Freeman, the Academy Award winner, and he also happens to be my all-time fav actor. This is a well-made portrait drawing on him. Keep it up!

A great likeness... I wish I had a six! Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors. This drawing shows an excellent likeness, that I think anyone who knows this actor can identify him from your drawing. True artistic talent on your part.

Comment from Jack Moore


He is one of my favorite actors and I bet his last name would be freeman. This is well done and it is framed to perfection. I was wondering about how long does it take to do something like this. I like to see some different things on here and this is definitely one of them. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. JackJr.
