man in a chair by stephen molyneaux

Excellent. I really like the different techniques used. In fact it's superb.

Beautiful figure and very natural attitude, Stephen. You have a great gallery of portraits and you master very well the charcoal.

There's an ethereal quality to this wonderful portrait. A superb gallery Stephen

The old, old argument about amateur vs. professional comes into play on the Forum now and then: well, if it helps (and I bet it just stirs up more controversy) this is what a professional drawing looks like. And for the avoidance of any doubt - I think it's wonderful.

I think it's wonderful too!

Brilliant Stephen!

thankyou for your comments. Robert Jones - I honestly couldn't say where the line is between amateur and professional. They do say a professional will spend time everyday to work on his craft. I think if you say what you want to say with an image it is enough!
