      Unspoken here may be the portion of the pose not shown? He was struggling a bit to hold it.

    Indeed an impressive portrait , and red suits him, at least the way you drew him, I think the fact of the red hair makes it imposing!

      He has great features, and yes, the color seems to fit.
      Thank you

    Oh yes...impressive indeed!
    I like the way there are subtle shades of red throughout the entire portrait that perfectly match his hair tones...injects such life into the sketch...makes me feel I half know him...:)

      Thank you.
      You probably are getting to know him by now.. I’ve posted a number of my sketches of him here over the years.

      Some times the portrait is so much more interesting than the total pose, and there is only so much time the pose will be held..
      Thanks
