Gracefully

A good likeness, and a good drawing, Brian.

Great likeness Brian also you have made him a bit better looking a rugged look!

If it is meant to be Tom Cruise you got a likeness. Its decent anyhow.

What a handsome man, you could look into those eyes forever! Lol A fabulous portrait Brian!

Thanks everyone, for the encouraging replies. I'm pleased the likeness was apparent, Lewis, because we always know who it looks like, or think we do. LOL. Carole, he just gets better looking with age, the SWINE! *smile* Yes, it is Tom Cruise, David. I can see where I need to make a couple of nudges and then I'll probably do a bit more with the finish, but not yet, I'll wait a week or two. That's what my wife says, Fiona, every time he's on the telly/cinema. It's like looking in a mirror! LOL! Thanks again to all, Brian

It's very good Brian

I knew it was a self portrait Brian! Your wife is a very lucky woman....lol

Ooh he looks very handsome Brian! A great portrait!

Thank you very much everyone, for the kind comments. Always appreciated. I revised this one this afternoon, adjusting the nose, hair, face shading/highlighting AND finished an experimental painting to boot. My head hurts. I appreciate the nod, Maureen. Had me laughing there, Fiona. Mirror, mirror on the wall... He does look handsome, Margaret, there's just no denying it, *LOL* and he seems to be improving with age, IE Aging "Gracefully". All the best Brian

Nicely drawn Brian

Thank you very much, Russel. Appreciated. Brian
