[Jan]

A figure from Life Miniatures.
It was for me a challenge to do it monochrome only using Black an White and the many shades between it.

Perfect job Jan, only the eyes should get some more attention. they have from the pictures angle that pop-eyed look.
You can darken under the upper eye lid, as into the eyesack (under eye lid).
Then a drop of very diluted dark red into the eye corners. That will change alot.

It's monochrome. Looks to me like he has the "Thousand yard stare". Perfectly fitting for a war correspondent. He's seen some shit.

I'm going to have to agree, splendid. Wow, what a totally different perspective to an incredible bust, perfectly interpreted and displayed! Bravo!

Cheers, Ski.
