First, let me apologize for the smudges, they just came out of NOWHERE during the scanning … Anyway, this is one of my first attempts to draw men since my pre-school “princess and prince getting married” –pictures. So it’s only understandable he looks like a girl, isn’t it?

Oh I don’t think he looks like a girl, he is just a beautiful man! And those eyebrows are truly very skilfully done... Great job!

I don’t think he looks like a girl. I don’t usually go for elves that much, and his chin’s a bit weird, but he has a lovely nose and beautiful eyes. Quite amazing eyes.... You draw very interesting, expressive faces, for which I congratulate you. (And thanks for commenting on my picture).

:-) P. Tiainen replies: "Thank you and you’re welcome. You have a point about the chin, that’s not my favourite part of the picture either 8. Thanks for your comment!"

You did a great job on this, esp. the eyes. The only thing that seems off to me is the nose being too long, usually noses are from one far corner of the eye to the inside corner of the other eye, try it on your own face using your fingers. The only thing that seems feminine is the smallish mouth but it does not distract from the overall quality of the drawing!

:-) P. Tiainen replies: "Thanks! Yes, the nose is long. I ment for it to be a bit longer than an averige nose, but within the limits of correct anatomy, of course. Thank you for commenting!"

This is wonderful! I love his experssion; his eyes are the best.

This portrait is very very good...2 I don’t mind the long nose, stylization is always allowed...and it looks good to me here! Great pencil technique, keep it up!2

I like this picture, I love the way you have done the hair & I also love his expression, he looks alive. I like the quirkyness of his chin & nose, it works.
