My last portrait

[Rui Manuel]

Hi all!

This is a portrait I did very recently (an hour ago! ) and I would like to have some critics from you, so I can improve my portraits.

Thank you so much for your time!

Best regards from Portugal!
Rui.

Hi Rui,

I think the modeling of the head is very convincing and I especially like the contour of the face, how the edge is sharp in the light and get lost in the shadow under the hair.

You might want to avoid that too many lines meet in the same point, like it is the case in both sides of the neck where the hair meet both the neck and the shirt. On the left side you can count 6 lines pointing together.
The problem with such meeting points is that you won

Thanks alot, Allan, for your fast answer and good advise!

Pesetas? Hey, pesetas was in Spain, not in Portugal!! And besides, now our currency is the Euro all over the European Union.

See you around!
Rui.

Rui, I love the softness of these hair edges. What a good-looking young person!

Hi Rui,

I just love your style! I would look again at the nose tip - it does not read quite right to me

Take care,
Maria

Hi all and thanks for your comments!

I will look closer to that nose tip, Maria.

See you soon,
Rui
