Description A digital sketch for a traditional painting that got polished. In a way I wanted a rough style. I rather like quite a few things about this.

*4 Edit* : This is probably the final version, and I offer my thanks to everyone who's said kind things and given useful advice and opinions



I've changed his nipples once already, but I still find them somewhat suspicious. If there is any comments on this it would be appreciated. I also would like to know if anyone thinks it's gotten too polishes, if it could stand to be rougher in it's painting, or if there are patches that need to be worked on more.

I intend to eventually have this printed on canvas and have a custom made frame for it, so I'd like it to be the best that it can be. So any critique or advice is welcome

That pic reminds me of nightmares I have got lately. Like, I have accidentally cut a part of my skin and I tore it off. And It revealed my face again, my old face, just a little sore.

Cool work, I like how you've done the forehead and chest- those are the parts which look most like a traditional painting. I wouldn't say the whole painting looks too polished, just that his right shoulder looks a bit smooth and blank in comparison. As for the colours, the select few that you've chosen all work really well together.

Thank you very much for the compliments, as well as pointing out the shoulder, much appreciated I'm not sure if I can muster the energy to change this one again for the 7th time, but I do see what you mean. It will probably annoy me in the long run
