This is beautiful! I seem to have already given out all the 6 stars I have, otherwise I would definitely give this a six. You seem to capture a depth to him that shows a tinge of melancholy. Lovely.

Excellent capture of Robin, he will be missed. Very nice expressive rendering which captures his humanity. Shading and detail superb resulting in photo quality. Very nice effort!

Comment from Mara del Mar


He have a sad smile here. I think that is his I inner.
"How many times a to laugh you cries,
nobody in the cheerful of the laughter fie
because in the souls that pain devours
the soul cries, when the face laughs ... "
I am sorry by the translation, but more or less here is the essence of what I want say. A great job, as always.

Wow Linda you have captured his eyes so wonderfully always a twinkle but a depth of sadness behind that - Excellent portrait down to the fine hairs on his arm. Well done.

Comment from Jean A Cormier


Lovely work, a certain sadness too, the expression, the face holding the head, pensive, brooding even. Very emotive type of work even though I would imagine there is no personal connection, there appears to be a sorrow in the work that comes through. His trademark nose and smile captured well! jean

Beautiful. I like that it's Robin Williams in his later years... not of Mork/laughing time. One can only guess what struggles he was dealing with... his face -- that you've expertly drawn reveals little of this thoughts. Well done.

Comment from Sange


this is outstanding Linda and very emotive. You can see the sadness in his eyes most comedians try to hide. Robin was a true gift making us laugh and cry with his great acting.
The eyes are amazing and you did well on all his facial features and hair.
As usual your drawings are magical and breath taking. Fine job! Lovely tribute!

A very fine tribute it is as well. A great actor, and it was so sad when he passed away. Who doesn't remember "Gooood Morning Vietnam". As always you have created a great drawing paying so much attention to details, and what I like especially with this drawing is how well the face and hand is standing out against the dark background and clothes.

It is very good distinctions between light and dark in this drawing, and the eyes are done so well. So full of life even if he looks a bit sad in this drawing. It is nothing wrong with the composition either. A lovely and well done drawing indeed.
