Luthe for my friend supaslim! She’s been super helpful and generous to me lately and I’ve been enjoying reading her Desert Shade story, so I wanted to do a little something.
It’s also been a nice study; I’m well outta practice with portraits and trying to re-acquaint myself with where I am with that and what I still need to learn.
Thanks for the feedback! Hmm. He's reading as older than I intended, then; shouldn't appear older than thirties-ish. But that's an age I'm not used to targeting. Do you have any insight as to what is causing the older read?
And thank you! C:
It could be my own viewing of him, I can see a 30ish too when looking for it. Perhaps it's the skin tones not blending smoothly in some areas (so that they flow together instead of meet up). Another possibility is when I saw him I associated him with Roland from the Dark Tower Series (by Stephen King.. awesome read) and/or Commander Vimes from the discworld series (by Terrie Pratchett.. very punny in a good way).

The only thing that I would suggest trying, is his face looks old (like about mid 40s) but seem to lack any wrinkles. Perhaps some underneath the eyes, and on the cheeks (just a soft hint of them) Otherwise... jaw drop WOW! Amazing job.
