Hi there I'm from ProjectComment  
I really love the color pallet of this piece. I also really love that you used vectors and the detail that you captured with them, from far away the colors blend together as if they were a painting, but there are a few issues that I think could enhance your work further. I think some kind of background would make the piece pop out even more. May be you could of added some harsh shapes like triangles or rectangles to contrast between the very triangular vectoring. to further add onto this you could also add in some color to contrast again to your portrait. Around the mouth I'm not really sure if that's a mustache or the skin tone. I think you could break the color up a bit more if that is a mustache and make it darker like the hair on his head. other than that it is a very wonderful and talented piece.

Thanks so much! Working with vectors is always funny. In fact, I never thought on making a background! The original photo from where I based to make this had the same bg as the one I did so never thought on adding more shapes, definitely my bad! And yes, over the mouth there was supposed to be a moustache, but was totally hard! At some point I just got used to how it looked (actually, the colour also went out of the hair colour palette, my bad again!) so yeah, it seems very clear when you said it I may edit it to make it look more like a moustache!
So thank you sooooo much for the helpful comment!

Hi, I'm here from ProjectComment  

Nice drawing! Really well done, there's so much detail in this drawing! The colour scheme I think really emphasizes the shapes and brush strokes, instead of using potentially distracting colours - a good strategy for this particular style. The style itself is really awesome, I love how you used so many layers of colour for the shading, and the lines and edges are all so crisp! Really amazing job, technique-wise. Now, I have a little bit of criticism. Firstly, his moustache seems a little wrong - I'm not quite sure how, but it seems too light. Initially, I wasn't sure if it was a moustache or just shading. Secondly, the texture lines in his ear look a little bit like the texture you used for his hair. It's not much, but his ears look a little furry on the inside.

So, that's all the criticism I have! It's a very lovely piece, and I have to especially compliment the hair and eyes, which look very real! I also love the clever use of colours, like I said above. Very few colours, but the overall picture still seems bright! Looks like a sepia picture, actually. Anyhow, this piece was lovely to comment on, you're a talented artist!

Hey! Thank you so, so much for the nice comment. About the moustache, I already realized what could be in fact the main mistakes: one, that its color it totally out of the hair colour palette and the second one, the lack of detail, basically haha. But of course, you were right in that point . And I really didn't notice what you said about the ear, you have a good eye, thanks!
For the compliments, I'm so glad you liked this piece, I loved his eyes too And you're a talented commenter! It will help me a lot for the next time

This is a very interesting piece. I quite like the shading, since it differs greatly from generic blur-shading. Just a little side note, though, the hair looks a little static. Perhaps for your next piece you can pay a little more attention to making loose strokes to create that sort of uncontrolled nature of hair. This looks great, though, keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it. The secret behind the shading is only the use of solid color vectors it was funny to do. And thanks for the tip, you may be right, I think the hair looks too geometric, isn't it? I'll try with organic shapes next time. Thank you!!!!
