Once again Armin, incredible job. I especially like the cropping in this one, more dramatic.

Armin,

This is just lovely! Would you be so kind as to photograph one of your next pieces along the way, so we can see a step-by-step?

Congratulations!

Wow! Not just for the awesome detail but the composition is great, a personality comes through, it makes a huge statment. But, how long does a piece like this take you? The detail is just amazing...

Thank you Jimmie, Chris, Holly, Pat and Kim for your kind comments on this portrait. It takes about 200+ hours for a drawing like this, I kind of lose track of time. Chris, I have this drawing on my website as a work in progress www.arminmersmann.artroof.com thank you for asking.

Thanks again

Armin
