Apologies to Tom Croft

Comments

I think the angle and slightly quizzical expression makes it, Russell. There’s someone there.

It's a fine portrait, Russell.

Well I think it’s amazing Russell. Love the lively expression and look of disbelief.

Excellent!

I think it is excellent, I haven't come across him but I like the angle you have put the face, it looks very interesting.

Thank you all for being so generous, it certainly doesn't flatter the gentleman! I'm sure you're all familiar with him, he instigated the 'Portraits for NHS heroes,' he's also featured on the recent "Extraordinary Portraits' programme on BBC as well as PAOY a while back, a fine artist and lovely man.

I’m sure as an artist himself he will appreciate the skill with which you’ve captured his expression. It’s a very well drawn portrait. Superb.

Well done 👏

A wonderful expression and angle of his face is executed perfectly Russell.

I was watching an Instagram posting by Tom Croft and decided to freeze my computer and draw his portrait, not a very flattering angle resulting in an even less flattering drawing of him, hence the title. I've posted the image as I think he would be a worthy subject for our 'Inspirational Artists' segment on the POL forum.
