This is a pastel portrait of my brother, Joe, who hates having his picture taken, and shys away from cameras. I took this picture while he was checking messages on his cell phone. Needless to say, he was petrified when I told him that I was going to draw it, and he asked if I didn't have anything better to do with my time. But I absolutely loved this very rare picture of my wonderful brother and felt that the colors, shadows and "mood" would make a great character study. I thought it turned out alright, what do you think?

Your lights and shadows are just awesome. Tell your brother to please excuse me but the fine-line wrinkles you placed in his face is excellent AND enhances his masculine good looks!Christopher Gray 21 Mar 2014
Fantastic "moment in time", great depth of mood while seemingly extracted from the casual... An effective image that conveys personality while at the same time a rendering that would enable me to know him if we passed on the street. Outstanding...Susan Marie Pieri 29 Jun 2011
