Okay, this is a painting I did of Nelson Mandela (Not sure if you know who that is) for school.
Any reviews would be much appreciated :D Thanks!

I'd like to see this a little bit bigger.

What medium did you use?

Of course I know who Nelson Mandela is! I like the cool background, and you used excellent detail. I agree with Shepherd; I'd like to see this bigger and know what medium you used. My one nitpick is that the eyes look a bit wonky; the right eye is way bigger than the left, and the left is sort of like a slit in Mandela's face. Perhapsyou could make the chin a bit broader. Other than that, great work!

I've resized it now... hope it's a bit better! :)
Thanks for the comments! It's acrylic paint on canvas.. if that's what you're asking.
Abigail, yes I know the eyes look kinda funny. The lighting also makes the one eye look grey.. Oh well :(

Thanks for resizing it! That is much better. Okay, so it's acrylic paint on canvas. It's always a good thing to state your medium at the top of the page; you know, sometimes drawings are so spectacular the viewer might think they're photographs. Thanks again!



I think I have thankfully avoided being quoted.
