Hi Daggers,
Thanks very much, Dark — I really appreciate the encouraging feedback!
His mom did like her son's portrait — so that was good news.
----------------
Although I did add more polish on my final most recent light caricature (you'll find below) — I did leave some of that looseness you suggested.
Usually I go over every area and make sure I've refined everything to a high degree — but leaving some looseness made it more fun.
I also found when sharing that last portrait of Emilio — that several people asked if it was a photo or a digital painting — so if people just think it's a photo — it kinda defeats the purpose of all that work.
So I'll definitely keep working at a 'less is more' kind of approach — so thanks again, Dark.
------------------
Anywho — here's today's offering: My digital painting/'light caricature' of UK politician Kim Howells (based on a news photo of him leaving court a few years ago).
Thanks for looking into my corner of the Dagger's whirled : )
Ciao fer now
