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!
wow benjamin...thankyou for the comment which led me to your work... i love the gentle use of graphite and attention to detail.. this appears like a 1950s b&w photo..what character he has.. a bit of Truman Capote... wonderful work!
