Okay, I am bad at drawing men! I know! Still, I like trying and maybe someday, I'll be able to do it right, who knows? By the way: funny spotlight on him while the sky behind him is dark, don't you think. Aaarh, could I perhaps have been a teensy bit tired, when I made the sky...?

Hey, wow! I see your point, but the painting and shades are brilliant! Face shape needs some tweaking, probably easier if you try doing some line drawings in pencil before you start with the paints! Easier to fix then =) I could probably use my own advice lol, anyway! Good work!

I definitely love him!

Your painting skills are wonderful, and the overall effect of this picture is simply beautiful. I think his eyes are maybe a little close together though.

It's not as bad as you say, rember the ,ale elves of Middle earth were a bit femmine in their clothes and face. Anyway if your not pleased with it theirs always next time. But I think it's good anyway m8.

Cya"!

Yah, it's a little weird. But I think we can all forgive you just for the sheer beauty of it.

I would think that elves would be more..how do i describe it....not square jawed. More of a slender face. But, i guess, if everybody drew the same it would be boring. good picture. ^_^

His eyes seem a bit close together, but other than that, he's great! The nose and lips look really good, and the detail on the clothes is awesome.

I think the jaw and all are fine (Think Brad Pitt, he's got a rather square jaw too), it's just that between the eyes there should fit one imaginairy one - that's the standard, at least. Even moving them a little more apart should help a lot.

But all that aside: good work. You really captured an elf's sense for finesse and his noble aura here.
