Another fine drawing by a very talented artist. Again the details are spot on. Your drawings are so life like. All those who you have drawn would be honored by your drawings. They should be hanging in an art gallery.

This image is sublime. I find the eyes especially good. In my opinion the eyes make or break a portrait. The shading is very well done. I like the light coming from the right. Excellent pouty look of the lips. There is very little to distract from the beauty of the artwork. I do note, however, and it is simply a slight notice, that lines/shading ot the neck could be just every so slightly blurred. The hair at the top on the left near the hat might have been defined a little more BUT not having seen the picture from which you drew these are very minimal. I love this work. SUPERB JOB.

Another beautiful drawing, Linda. Love how you show the light and shade and the expression in his eyes. Yes, very sad what happened but you've achieved a great likeness.
Excellent detail in his clothing. Great composition. Suzanne

Fantastic story, love James Dean. I love the way the first thing you see is the strength in his face, that famous look. Great line and form. Solid image. I'm not going to zing this because it has so much power but to be honest I find his forehead and cheek areas need more shadow, they are bright. Maybe they appear so because the background has such strong shadow. I know that it works - his face does dominate the work, but I find it the brightness drains a bit of strength. My take of course and since I can barely write with a pencil... well you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing.
