Thank you Dale.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Great tonal variations, highlights & shadows.
Deep contemplation.
Aristocratic countenance.
Hollowed cheekbones.
Prominent chin.
Chiseled facial features.
Good attention to details.
A hazy undertone must be caused by the light reflection during repro.
Thanks!

Beautiful drawing of this young man from olden days. I love how you've shown the different textures of hair, clothes and skin with your excellent drawing.

Great use of shading and light. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Great shading and definition. Wonderful subject and positioning so that the couch doesn't take away from the person. Great job!

Just perfect, I love the vintage look, the clothing you choose is great, and he does look so relaxed, just laying there collecting his thoughts for the day! Alos I love the aged looking wall in the background!! What great details, I love the whole style!!

Roxey, you are superb.

Comment from trishgoody
Certainly deep in thought with a faraway look in his eyes this young gentleman has such a finely chiseled face with that old fashioned look for sure.
As always Linda your work on this is exquisite, his velvet jacket is divine.
Amazing work!

Comment from Sange
You keep raising the bar with each drawing! I am at a loss for words Lady Linda. The realism, sharp details and vintage look are superb. You get every tiny detail, hair, ear, eyes, lips..the list is endless.
Your work is better than a photograph.
Magical!
Fine work LL!👏👏👏👏👏😉♥

Comment from PANCHO777
Linda - amazing dexterity and command of this technique, in order to be able to create this photo like image, which right off the bat, conveys elegance, peace and deep reflection. The textures of the hair, facial complexion, hands and clothing have been accomplished to perfection. Lastly, handsome looking chap, who looks like he's well off, probably mediating about his next business merger or acquisition. Outstanding job!
Saludos
Pancho
