Sir Ian McKellen portrait

Just an 1 hour portrait practice, which turned out better than expected. I am pretty satisfied with the result, even though some proportions are off and the similarity may be not so complete. But I actually really like which colours I used and also how I painted facial features. I would like to know what you think!

Great work on the stubble.

Thank you! They are basically just dots. It is interesting how much depth can simple shapes, lines or dots bring to the overall painting.
