It’s a good painting, technically one of the best yet. But the face isn’t right. I’ve reworked it multiple times and it’s still not right. I’m ready to move on to my next Sammy. The suit was a blast to paint!

    Sick! I’ve been waiting for this one. My only feedback is that I feel like his gaze is a bit too low

      Yeah for sure, I really struggled with his face.

      I’m glad! The moment I heard his voice during the halftime show I couldn’t wait to paint it!

    This is great

    If you’re looking for criticism/feedback the cheek dimple is too low and I think adding more shadow to the ear would make the angle of his head feel more natural/balanced

    Also think the bottom of the nostrils could be blended just a teeny bit more

    Seriously though you’ve got great talent, these are awesome each time I see them!

      Great criticism, thank you! I didn’t see what you pointed out until you mentioned it.

    This is just good, solid work again. The blending on the cloths is great and getting much better. You work on the face is where I feel you could use a bit more focus when you are painting the next Sam. Other than the dimple that someone else mentioned you seem to have lost a bit of his jaw line to help separate his jaw and neck. Not a huge deal, just an observation where you might consider putting more focus on color blending and light/dark color choice to help you.
