A perfect capture of an imperfect man. He gave us so much joy. I love his eyes. It seems like you can see into his soul.

Wow, what a piece of art.

I just can't imagine anyone having this type of skill to accomplish this drawing. Amazing.

His gaze is so captivating. All of his facial features are so life like.

And then adding in his tragic ending, makes this piece much more emotional than it would have been when he was living.

Very nice job.

Comment from Angelheart The First


I am always very happy to have a six star rating when I come upon your striking work Linda.
The one thing that I find in this is his emotional state.I see the sadness and depression
that was taking over his spirit.
Outstanding work Linda~
Angelheart :)

Comment from Sessybon


You have definitely captured the essence of Robin Williams. The sad man behind the clown face. As always you have included the little nuances which add life to your drawings. The hair on his arm (and boy weren't they hairy), the veins on his hands and the laughter lines around his sparkling eyes. You want to reach out and put an arm around his shoulders to comfort him. It's so sad to realise that no-one can do that now.

    Wow, Sessy, what a wonderful review. I am glad that you noticed the little nuances. Thrills my heart. It is too bad that there wasn't someone who could speak to the spiritual emptiness inside his soul. That needed to be healed.

You have really captured some real emotion in those eyes defiantly a look of sadness in them. You have not doubt captured the comic legend beautifully. With the dark surrounding's the face as like a halo glow to it, which makes it more poignant.

Great portrait, I love the composition, the black and white is my favorite kind of photography. Thanks for sharing.

    Achraf, The thing about black and white is that you have the actual subject without the distractions of color. The highlights and the shadows. Depth is a very dimensional affect.
Comment from skyborne


Great expressive quality in the face, nice use of composition to draw attention dynamically to the focal point. The detail is strong, the lines well-hidden, and the highlights are strikingly lifelike.
