Hi everyone,

Here's a bust at Young 1 / 10,Oil painting and acrylic.
I had great fun doing it.
Reviews and criticism are welcome.
(I wonder if I'm posting in the right place?)





I told you I had a small painting

I like it a lot. I like that you didn't do a high contrast style on the face. I think in the larger scales, less is more. The stubble is very effective. Very nice.

Very good job Simon! The low contrast, combined with his 'sharp' eyes work really well. Excellent paint job!

Forgot to mention, and it sounds strange, but the cigarette is excellent! Too many times a cig is shown as just white stick with a black tip sticking out of the figures mouth. This one looks like real cigarette, I'm just waiting for the ashes to fall off.
