First Commission

[Matthew Severson]

Thanks a lot everyone. I will try to put your suggestions to good use and get an updated image to you before I deliver this piece.

A lot of people on and off this board have commented about the linear quality (or flaw if you will) of my work. It's probably a product of my undying love for the Art Nouveau Movement, which I cannot manage to shake from my style. The way I had envisioned this drawing was for it to contain this soft, suggestive appearance. Not overly deep, and not especially photographic in its appearance.

This may be a complete "no no" in the world of portraiture....

Thanks a ton!

Matt
