This is SO amazing, the best Jackson portraiture I have ever seen, it is so Beautiful. You captured the innocence, the serenity, the look of Love that was in his eyes. The technique and skill is also Amazing, such beautiful soft lines and the deception of depth in the piece, but then all your art is stunning so that is no surprise. I feel like I could actually hug him right here through the HD Screen e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

What is there to critique? It's just simply amazing, and dazzleing. The tone is well executed, the pose promotes intrigue, and sensuality to the maximum degree. The shading and highlighting is luscious. In whole, it's extensively detailed and provocative. Perhaps more development of the ear would accent this gem to one-hundred percent perfection. Looking far too deeply into it, I think slightly more highlighting in his hair would improve at minimum, and render looking at it, too much to absorb all at once. This critique thing would'nt allow me to stop at the first sentence. I can say no more

I love how you gain lighting so well. I've been dabbling in charcoal, pastels, and graphite for a while, but I haven't been able to capture the soft light the way you have.
Exquisiteness!
