If the eyes are the window to the soul then this man has a very deep old soul. A Wonderful likeness of Mr. Elliott that goes well beyond the technical light and dark and shadows and hard and soft lines (although they are excellent? You have taken this to a much higher level and truly captured the character of the man. If I had 6 stars left to give you would have it from me :)

I don't normally comment on artwork, but this really got my attention. You not only captured the image, but also his character. The eyes draw you in to the picture. Excellent details and shading.

Great job, Linda. Definitively recognizable with superb detail and accuracy to every element of the portrait right down to the wrinkles in the shirt. Have just been watching in a supporting role on the final season of Justified on FX, so nice to see your superb depiction. I especially like the cowboy motif.

    Thank you Shore. It is sad to see him age. He looks quite different these days, but I am so glad to see his continuance in the entertainment field. His voice never changes. He has the voice of the century.

The Arrangement of Parts is exquisite.
I am sure that William Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre would approve of your artistic Skills !
The Play of Light provides your Image Canvas with a strong foundation for success.
The Final Shape is jaw droppingly beautiful.

Comment from Pakka


Oh wow this is an amazing drawing I so wish I had a six left as this certainly deserves it. You are truly talented. It is so well done that at a distance it looks like a sepia tone photograph. I love the colours you have used which give this drawing a real feel of a dusty western era.

Wow! You actually did all this drawing with a mechanical pencil? It just looks so realistic and it's very creative. This is a wonderful composition. You truly did an amazing job :) Well done and thanks for sharing :)

Sam is one of those folks like Sean Connery who gets better in age.. Yeah I have enjoyed many of his movies since the early 70s. This sketch as all of ur work is superb and realistic. The facial expression is perfectly done I expect Sam to say something. The depth is excellent. The details is awesome. The shading is outstanding. The creation is balanced and eye pleasing to the viewer. So very creative and outstanding work overall(standing clapping and cheering)woooooooohooooo
