This is a superb drawing, what talent! The dynamic contrast is somewhat muted though. The whites of the teeth, background and eye-hightlights should be brighter. That's easily fixed in photoshop. Hoping to see more of your African theme.
Artist Reply: Thanks a lot Carl, you've been very helpful
Many thanks Cath
very nice work indeed. I love the way the design of the background becomes part of the overall design of the painting.
Artist Reply: Yes Ian, Welch and Scotch definitely get on well. I thought it would become to bland the head on its own so introduced a bit of abstrac behind it.
Many thanks for your comment
