Study for child portrait 2

Heck I knew you were good but these two are amazing. I think I'll never paint a portrait again! I can't come anywhere near this. WOW!

Diana is absolutely right, amazing! I don't know what you do for a living, but you sure are wasting your time when you can turn out work like these two portraits, well done and WOW!

Absolutely agree with the above comments - your talent is amazing. Can I ask if you are a professional artist and what your background is in art. These last two postings have quite taken my breath away!

Like the others say "WOW" what a fantastic portrait, you certainly have talent.

Diana- come on! We are all learning and the pursuit continues! Norman -This is what I do for a living! it is the passion of my life! Thea- Sometimes Its hard to say, I think if this is all one does then one is professional, but I still see myself aspiring to be PRO! I attended art college in Nigeria and also did diploma in portraiture at the Heatherley School of FineArt, Chelsea. Thanks Max!

Love these portraits great work.

Thanks Paul!

Gorgeous - your pencil strokes make it sparkle. It is pencil?

Thanks Jeannette, it is Graphite Pencil and Oil Base Pencil

I think you are far too modest, these two portraits are definately professional. You are a master of your trade, well done.

i am just amazed at the depth and balance you have achieved here, adebanji,the composition is spot on, i agree with what everyone else has said,but i agree with what you say , we all have to strive to get better, but after seeing this and briefly wanting to throw my pencils away, its only served to make me want to do better well done ..chris

Thanks Chris, we are here to inspire each other!
