Delighting. man,
I like very much that soft expression,
n the way purpose how this artwork comeout.
great
my only sugest, is a little more warm colors,
for the outdoors sun intention.
Saludos.

For a non-painter this is a very well done portrait Carlos. It's obvious that you have an artists eye from the subtle cast shadows that you have placed in this portrait. Great job on the eyes. The expression on your sons face is very emotive, much more so than the reference photo. Very well done!

Carlos, you did really well on this portrait. If I can make one small critique, it's his skin. I would go a bit darker as the photo shows a darker complextion. Also, his hair on my monitor looks a bit green.

Otherwise it is still a wonderful artwork.

Although you say you are not a painter, I can see good skills in this artwork. I would just have worked more in the hair, but the face was done great in my opinion.
 
Avatar mARTina777

 12/11/06 @333

Nice work. I think you could improve on the hair, which seem to have not enough highlights. And be really careful not to make the skin tones inany way dirty or dead looking, which yours is not, but it goes into that direction.
