cnell: Are you learning from me? I'm blushed!

Like the shading on the face but think it could use some more contrast.

Very good portrait!.....nice skin colors!

Mmm, I quite like those colors. Good for you bringing a variety of hues into the skin; that definitely adds a lot of life. I really like the nose too, 'cause it has a lot of character. I agree with you that a broader range of values would punch this up a notch. Also, I think closer attention to the form of the eyes would instantly infuse the image with more interest, realism, and expressiveness.

good character design +9

I like the face.
Maybe the nose seems a little bit flat..

Nice portrait! Needs a few highlights to lift it up a little I think.

cool! speedpaintings FTW!!!(oh i wanna do more now after seeing your work XD)
really pretty porcelain colours on his skin
nice to see you update at last Diego XD

I really like the eyes here, great job!

Very good work!

anjey: so, his nose should be flat then... lol, just kidding! Thanks for feedback, see you around.

+10 Your best portrait yet.

Hey I just sawthis is the random top art nad I just had to comment it!
I already said I like this picture very muhc, I think you did an amazing job capturing the expression of the figure. The soft colors are really good.
and I'm still amazed how you did this in 5 hours!

bagirra: OOh thank you.. was hard to achieve!

slickgreekgeo: Thanks man!

armilar: I'm blushed again... yeah, five hours, but it would be better if I only could spend more time on it.

Great work!
Creo que es uno de tus mejores trabajos, me encantan los tonos que has usado... está muy bien! +10
Y perdona por comentar tan tarde, no tenía ni idea de que habías subido algo nuevo >.<

He looks like a fun character! Very pleasant face. ^__^

ViolentContact: Es irónico, sólo fue un retrato de 5 horas, haha. Gracias!

Saimain: Thanks a lot! He has a pleasant personality, rather pacific!

Amazing work!!

Nice portrait; I really like the eyes.

mzebony: Really thanks!

Freiz: Thank you so much!

well, i understand it's a speedpainting, but i think you should be careful to give the whole piece the same amout of detail. right now the irises are super sharp, the mouth line is sharp, but the rest of the face is sorta blurry and undefined, especially the eyebrows and hair. the skin tones are quite nice however, it's great to see you've worked with blending the colors, and also the lighting is quite beautiful

Nice skin tones, I like it
Good work!

Obscured: Nice point! One thing I don't like about my pictures is the excessive smoothness on some parts, i can't figure out the way to fix this. Thank you sweetie!

zaclab: Thanks man!

i think you just have to be careful to concentrate on all important parts of the painting equally. i used to have this same problem with my drawings. used to make super-detailed eyes and mouth because those parts grabbed my attention first about the portrait, and then the rest would sort of get done rather quickly and without much effort. one thing that helped me a lot was using references. because then you notice all kinds of little details all around the figure which are essential in making a well balanced artwork. hope that helps

Thanks a lot!

Emotions are well displayed. Nise style, btw =) Is it self_portrait?

Oh no, it's not. If you look at the reference is a photo of Tobey Maguire. Thanks a lot for your comment and greetings!

Hello! I can see your progression from your works to this one. I think you have a good use of colors in the skin, in general, it's very well done. Like killadore mentioned, I wish you focused on the entire scene (even if a portrait) rather than on parts; hair, lighting, mood, background, shoulder. I know it's a speedpaint, but I can also assure you a quick study is more fun when the subject "appears" from the scene rather than trying to put the subject in one - if that makes any sense. One crit though is the marks on the left and top in the background, VERY distracting and unnecessary, don't worry about ornamentation like that. Keep up the work, show us more! +8/10

OOh well, you're right indeed, lol. Sometimes that happens with my signature, Thanks a lot!

By the way, I just noticed... he seems to have some makeup on his eyel lids ¬¬
