Great work Shyam! The dark line under the nose may be a little bit too sharp... Very good work anyways, I love it! The hair could have used a little bit more work IMO. +9/10

deandude  02/05/07 @660

great work again shyam-dude...you can't go wrong with oils... a little more contrast on the left side would make this perfect

ersen-t  02/05/07 @771

Maddagone  02/06/07 @053

great work...keep growing....love the highlight,and the strokes show how well you can manage any medium...keep it up!

Andy--Jones  02/06/07 @725

I cannot fault this. It is a better version of you than number 1 in my opinion. Excellent use of the oils. The monochromatic look adds to this. Makes me want to get the oils out

ViolentContact  02/06/07 @742

wow the tones make it look very interesting, I really enjoy the lighting and strokes too. +9/9

kittyKat  02/06/07 @910

I knew this was your eye in the thumb nail very nice work

acida  02/07/07 @022

i find this portrait very expressive +10

dakoo  02/07/07 @295

have to agree with guys on the left side !! But i love the tones U used on this one !! Almost like the split tones used in photography !! The expressions adds a lot !!

lucuella  02/07/07 @657

Awesome! I like the brush form a lot.

ARTOONATOR  02/07/07 @729

MsMichelleLynn  02/09/07 @413

I love this. I enjoy the quality and style of your brush strokes. Interesting.

Cigaro  02/09/07 @804

superbe work...tense lighting and determined strokes..love it

Jane  02/10/07 @779

I am glad to see you keep working with traditional painting! Your use of shadows and highlights are excellent, and especially the lips are well painted with that in thought. The facial expression is wonderfully made, and accompagnied by dangerously cold tones. You're the man.

ThruMyEyez  02/12/07 @470

Excellent style, excellent work!

Almost-Human  02/13/07 @764

Misleading title.. after all its not "ME" its you.. So any chance of changing the title to "YOU" As for the image itself. well it looks nothing like ME..

shyamshriram  02/14/07 @944

lol

keiiii  02/22/07 @738

Digging your style as always. The lack of contrast on the left side is interesting. Kind of like it's a photo, and the left/far side is out of focus.

zeroWORKZ  05/28/07 @882

AWESOME LIKE ALWAYS... i like the colors and your style

DJ100  06/10/07 @720

No movent wasted; each brush stroke on target. I think it's as timeless as great music. We label style so that we know where to find it; no more ,no less. This is what I'm looking for and learning from; finding direction. It says less but speaks much more.

lindella1  06/11/07 @972

very nice technique

johanflood  05/29/08 @085

looks so easy and that means it is perfect. great work !! +10 from me
