My Dad

This is my dad "Chuck". He is 75 years old and still working 40 hours plus a week. He is the one who first introduced me to art. He has been an artist for as long as I can remember. There is nothing that he couldn't draw. He doesn't draw much anymore due to his eyes. In fact he lost his left eye. I drew this portrait with the way his eye used to look before his injury. I am going to present this to him this weekend. I hope he likes it. Again sorry about the quality of the drawing. It is too big to scan and had to take a picture and they always come out blurry. The one on the bottom was fixed up by Thomas Langeveld. Thanks again Thomas

Dude, is your dad James Earl Jones? :P I'm sure he will be pleased with it. And if you have photoshop you can try and fix it up a bit with contrast and tone adjusting.

Dignified portait all around in terms of selection of pose, bone and cheek structure, and the mixing of youth without hiding age. Great way to honor your dad I know he will like.
