It's a very good drawing and a very good impression, though I do have one question - did you work from a photo? Because if you did, I suggest that the photo was reversed - since the pocket square would be worn in his left breast pocket, and the shirt would overlap left (ie, his left) over right, not the other way round. It's not important in itself, but does give away the source of your drawing - which you might not want to do. (If you ever draw Barry Humphries, though, you can ignore all that - 'cause he has suits made with the breast pocket on his right; but he's an eccentric little devil.)

Aye Robert,I did reverse the photograph I worked from.I always try that to see which look I prefer.I probably will draw Barry H. and Dame Edna at some point.I did plan a series of show business folk including Danny La Rue,Kenneth Williams,Keith Harris and Orville etc, but have only drawn Rod Hull and EMU so far!
