Hey Ron,

I think you did rather well on it. The only thing that looks off is the beard. I have no idea how to draw hair. So do not ask me.

Personally: I like it clean shaven!

Another thing you could do is tone it to give it an old or sepia tone look.
just a thought.

Great job anyway.

You know, I went in to do some additional touch-ups, and decided that the picture frame was detracting from the bust itself, so I removed it. What do you think of it now?

Nice work Ron!

Could we see the photo that you took this from so we can give a bit more advice on the hair and beard?? I really think it's just the tedious job of using the Freehand tool and use this current beard and hair as the template for boundaries sake and just draw in lots of line's using the cigar line or one of those to delineate the hair a bit more realistically. The brow furrows look a bit to pronounced to me as well.

I'm glad you dropped the frame, it really was a bit of a visual deterrent, this looks much better. A frame for this would be something very simple with small boundaries and dulled reflections.

Hi Ron,

I like it... The beard still need work but you where right about the picture frame.

[Ron Duke]

OK,
Here's a side by side of the drawing and the photo. As you can see the photo is typical of the day, when photography was in its infancy.
I added a few more lines also, and heightened the texture in the skin.

Is this what you mean by more of a sepia tone?

Hi Ron,

The image is coming along nicely. As Richard mentioned, the lines in the forehead could be made less pronounced. Sepia tone is a brownish tint.
