Seenu--

I have to agree with the other critiques. The style of the drawing is very much at odds with the subject. I found the image very jarring.

Slavishly copying reference material without applying aesthetic judgment along the way isn't producing art -- it's an exercise in accuracy, nothing more.

Steven, especially, obviously spent a good deal of time crafting a thorough and helpful set of suggestions, for no compensation other than the satisfaction of aiding a fellow artist.

If you want suggestions for improving your work, this is the place. If all you want is a compliment and nothing more, you can get that most anywhere.
