This looks like it took 45 hours. Wonderful piece. I especially love the hair. It adds character. I mean mustache hair is a lot more thick than regular hair and you're shown that here. His beard really looks like it would itch. I like that! :clap:

The portrait is one of the most curious art forms. It demands special qualities in the artist, and an almost total kinship with the model.
