Ah! That background. Goodness that must have been a lot of work! There's so much detail that's gone into that! I'm just awed by the obvious dedication you have to creating such beautiful pictures.
I love this whole image because it's so complex. There are so many nuances and little intricate pieces that really lend to the entire picture as a whole, making everything just sort of explode on the page. And you capture it so well. You really encapsulate the reference photo quite remarkably. However, you also take some liberties I see. I noticed in the picture itself that the background is a bit softer in a way. I don't know if it's just because it's a pencil drawing or not, but the way you've portrayed the background really just makes Aidan stand out. His character is the focus and the busy complex background doesn't detract from the viewers admiration of his character. Does that make sense? I think it's a lovely way to approach things.
And seeing all the tiny details on his person just make me happy. I think you did a great job of capturing his features so perfectly and precisely. There's so much to consider when recreating someone's face, I wager, and I think that your careful approach pays off. You have a fine talent for matching someone's likeness on paper. I'm always impressed by that.

Thank you sooo much!! And really your eye never ceases to amaze me. I did try to make the background more fuzzy and subtle because I didn't want to take away from his presence. I think the last drawing of him perhaps was too "all the same" feel, so I wanted to see if I could make him stand out more.
Your comments are the very best thing about my Friday morning & I thank you thank you thank you!!!

I think you did a remarkable job of making this picture your own and making Aidan stand out so well. I loved the contrast with the sharp and the soft. It almost reminded me of photo that is purposely focused on one point and all the other background is softened or blurred to accommodate pulling the viewer's focus to the point the photographer wants. I loved how you did that!
