Which is closer to what you look like? They both have charm.
I like in your memory how you picture your nose. Wider lips and wider set eyes. Expansive brows and expression. The painting from the reference photo I noticed that you paid close attention eyes and mouth. Your eyes are closer and you have a slightly narrower mouth than in your memory drawing. I like the warm expression. You look like a man who’s just starting to smile at something you thought about. It looks like a man I would see around. I like both.

Ah, you handsome devil, you!

Fun times, I like both. I'm smiling now, thanks.

thanks paintboss

I might do one in acrylic, Jo. I normally use a pencil/pen.

These are good! It’s amazing how a face only needs a little shading around the eyes to make a likeness.

Simple is usually the greatest way to capture the essence of a face. Really well done.
