Father Figure

This is a sketch of my dad. I had fun doing this although the trees took much longer than I anticipated.

Wonderful portrait. I hate to say it, but it looks like a photo.The crown of the hat looks like it should be a little larger. This is caused by using a photo as reference.. photos do have their problems. Nevertheless, terrific work!
