The Boy who Lived

I have never been much of a fan for 99% black and white with just one colour in one area. Here you've done this as eyes but usually it's eyes or lips that sort of thing. But while the eyes themselves look wonderful and you've done a brilliant job I don't so much like the green you've included on them ~ personal opinion, sorry.

Right well you've done overly well here, and you know it. I really love how you've got the character down to a T it's very well done and as far as shapes and such go you've got this down to a fine art it's really spot on and I can't emphasize that enough here!

I especially love the lighting on the glasses and how well you've done that and also how he looks like a spotty teenager who's having a bit of a bad time. So well done you. In all honesty I think there's perhaps too many spots/freckles/blemishes but that's just my opinion! But overly very well done.

I am also not sure about the white eye lashes on his right eye (left of the picture) I'm not sure they should be so white but I understand the point you were getting at with lighting and such. I always find I make guys too girly and so just tend to stick to doing girls if I can.

I also like how you've included light stubble around the jaw line I think that works very nicely.

Your eye brow and general hair technique is wonderful although I'd like to have seen a few stray hairs coming off of his hair across his fourhead but that's just me.

I think you've done a fantastic job with shading, lighting and pencil tecnique - although the neck could do with a little attention as it looks like his neck is made of bark or something with a similar texture, but not skin.

Well doen on the bit of the jacket and also the background. I enjoy how you've made this with a 3D effect I think you have a brilliant skill there/here!!!

My main concern is them green eyes. But that's your choice as the aritst. Well done.
