I think this is good but would have been better without the fire coming out of the eye, maybe just orange red eyes or even black eyes. Good though I like it

nice work

unfair competition,you deserve a better place in my opinion ! the world is cruel

This is very dreamy...wonderful effect. Nice job, author!

This is very nice, I like the watercolor effect... GL

Congrats on win

Congrats on 2nd....beautiful work!!!

congrats...

The main focus of this image is on the face and you chose the soft, less detail brush for the rest, so if I were you I would draw the hair strands with large, soft brush and not clearly separated as you did. Even though these hairs are still nice, they distract the eyes a bit to the top left corner of the image. Overall, I can see your effort and this portrait has a soul, which is the most important one. Good luck to you.

Beautiful drawing.... good luck!

Very well done freehand work.

Very sweet and great detail and emotion here

beautiful soft style you have!

Had another look at the hi res, this is really very very good.

Congrats!

Lovely work. You have caught his personality and innocence really well!

Congrats ,hope to see more.

great job .......... work on his hair is really nice ......... all the best to u ..............

Jack 2 did you look at the sbs ?? if you can do brush strokes at the start of a painting like this, then carry them on to fashion a complete image with brush strokes showing then you can also do a close resemblance . not a fill and blend that looks like photoshop.

im sorry nice work but why is this not a close reference? am i getting it wrong //// ????

Perfect and very emotional work...well done author

very very nice work author with great gray mood...love the sweat drips at his face...best of luck

Really nice work here author!

Looks and hair style ===> Awesome. Fantastic job. Good Luck Author.

Not bad but not as good as ? and yes I knew instantly when I seen it we had a newb in town again. I look forward to seeing more of your work. maybe some good sci fi stuff.

The water droplets on the face need to be very slightly shaded with a highlight since they are transparent, and the skin beneath is not white. As is, they look like white, opaque drops on his skin.
Very nice work!

I love the tones of this paint. Good luck!

Just fantastic..., love the hair area good luck author
