Well done, Josef. I especially like the variations you got in skin tones.

By "picture" I am assuming it was not your photo. You certainly made the most of the reference! Well done!

Thanks Pat, Terri, Nathalie and Alex.

Yes, the commission was for a surprise birthday present so the subject did not know anything about it. The reference picture was quite small.
