interesting concept. what made you put the text in the apart from the obvious reason? (obvious reasons being it really is quite simple, and there's a lot of empty space left).
i like the fact that i looks so basic that any amature will think "ah, i can do this. piece a cake!" but really.. is the hardest especially when you dont have other colours to back it up when you fall asleep painting this piece and had left the brush doin its own thang. (speaking from personal experience of course)
awesome. i love drawing elderlies. they always make it interesting. i should do it more.

Looks good. I like your use of color in this. There are lots of colors, but it looks completely natural. I like how you got his expression down too. These don't really even look like acrylics. They kind of look like watercolors. Very light. Did you mix them with a lot of water?

Simplicity is cool. I really like the colors you used to make his facial hair look all cool.

When I grow old I want to look just like him.

You've certainly captured character here, simple and effective. A job well done.
