Comment from Angelheart The First
Good morning Mark,
I never saw this the first time around but I'm glad I caught it this time.This is one of your best renditions of one of the best blues singers ever.I love the jacket which really makes this POP along with the black background.The detail in this work is amazing and the one small thing that I think is neat is the way that you did the letter "I" in KING as a crown.It would be great to see some new pieces like this.No wonder why you got an ATB for this one~
Angelheart :)

This is really a perfectly done portrait of a great artist that I was lucky enough to see. Your colors are wonderful and everything about this says BB King. Well done.

Great interpretation of the artist. Love the shading and the lighting, effective black background, and the facial expression, like the textures and good frame. Well done

Comment from some1sangel
initial input is excellent. you've done a wonderful rendering and to believe that it was done with sharpie markers! the coloring in his clothing would be just his style. the grey hair, the guitar, everything is as it should be. what a great tribute to a great man.

Ah... except for his coat (lol) you moved away from the flowers! ...with delightful results. Nice work with sharpies (!) on his face... and one can certainly tell that he was a bit rotund. Nice work.
