Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Upon seeing this come across my deviation watch list in its thumbnail form I thought interesting, someone dug up a black and white photo of Robert Redford back in his younger years.

However, after taking a much more up close and personal look I was astounded to see that this was not a photo but a hand drawn image of the actor. One that captures not only his youth, but also the intensity, charm, and charisma which makes him such the icon that he is today.

To the artist,

There is no doubt that you have created a work of art. One thats details and shading is both awesome, and beyond fantasic.

Not to mention one that I was more than happy to give this critique on. For that alone, I say thank you very much for sharing it with the rest of s here on DA.

Perfect! So real! Since I watched "the great gatsby", "inside Daisy Clover," "The Way We Were" was fascinated by their power to act so naturally. Maybe you could show me some film of him, one that you find essential?
