The finest football player in the world Lionel Messi the only problem it looks nothing like him. Im calling it done even though a few little touch ups may help. Its one of those that doesn't go to plan. Still I did enjoy it all the same
Excellent work Paul.. I know what you mean when you say it doesn't look like him.. Sometimes just a slight tweak of a shadow, line or mark can make all the difference. I've found when doing portraits that the more I look at it and the original, the more it will come together. That said I think it's super good !! BJ
Even the ones that don't go to plan can be enjoyable and we learn more from them than the ones that turn out just as expected. It's a great portrait and I still can't believe how far you've come in such a short time.
I've never heard of the man but it is a wonderful drawing, Paul.Great values, expression and structure. He looks very rugged!
