This is an excellent rendition of a man with vision in his eyes and a heart for people.
Well done, in so many cases our work is never really done, but this is capturing so much.

I followed after seeing your work in progress of this, (like everyone his death hit me strangley hard for reasons I can’t even explain) I’m glad to see it finished. You did a great job I can see the attention to detail and care. I draw as a hobby so appreciate a true artists work

This is a phenomenal capture of the potpourri of torrentially swirling emotions that gripped Erika in that moment.

It also grabs hold of my heart, which still very much aches for her.

Thank you for sharing!
