Nice Job

Hi Armin -

This is really nice work! You have more patience than I think I ever will have - so much detail, and so much area you had to cover.

The closest eye appears a bit distorted to me, but I like it. Kind of a mild photograph fish-eye effect. It really adds to the feeling that the viewer is very close; in fact, too close to your "personal space". This adds a bit of a feeling of discomfort, but the discomfort works for this drawing.

About the only suggestion I would make is to cover the shoulder on the right with something and decide if that shoulder is necessary to the drawing. I personally like it better without, but I think this is a matter of personal preference.
