Alright, Zachary--you gave me a giggle. Poor Lewis---an 'old man'? Yikes! I'm sure he's like, "Um , excuse me, can you title it 'Teacher' or something?" On a serious note, it's a most impressive portrait piece that you've pulled off extremely well. Keep up the great work! -Kerra
Artist Reply: Well I'm glad I could make you giggle. when I showed taete this painting he said its a nice painting, but who is the old fat guy?
The crooked tops and bottoms of the chalkboards, as well as the piece of center divider by his ear are distracting. A straight edge and judicious editing would have made this much more effective. The highlights on his shirt are too high-key contrast. They shine brighter than the light reflection off his head and nose. The white line above his lip looks out of place.
Artist Reply: thank you for your honest critique the painting was done yesterday in acouple of hours so maybe since the paint is still wet ill change some of the things you mention. I most definately will atleast posta better picture where the paint is dry and not reflecting light everywhere
