Hello Rory, I had intended to visit all your artworks, but everything got overwhelming!! Never mind, I have just found this. A truly wonderful portrait. His smile is so contagious and fills the whole work somehow. Your skilful graphite rendering with the mix of hard lines and soft shading is remarkeable. So much character here. v/f

This is really cool, Rory !! so much life emanating from him, and that radiant smile that envelopes his face is priceless. If it weren't for the few bold lines, I would think this was a photo !! v Awesome effects and skill with Graphite !! Also my favourite medium. Best wishes, ~ nana
