Lovely picture. Thought it was a photo on thumbnail! o.O The colouring of the face is PERFECT =D VERY nice. Very well done on the reflections colouring on the piano. Stunning how this lookg so much like an oil painting.

One little point is that the shirt seems to be a bit rushed... It would've been PERFECT if the shirt was coloured with more effort X3 But nevertheess he sure is handsome! o.o

Love this picture~

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like how his face came out. You're right, the shirt was definitely rushed, but I'm trying to fix that now. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

Lovely work. The impressionistic style gives it a lot of movement.

I agree that the shirt could use more work. The wrinkles seem overdone and not in keeping with the shape of the body underneath. They're visually distracting and don't read like draped/wrinkled fabric should, creating some odd areas (that hump on his shoulder) that just don't look right.

The piano is wonderful and his expression of intense concentration and passion is purely beautiful!

I really do need to work on the shirt, but I'm afraid it's more of a skill level problem than effort problem. I guess I will just have to practice more. Thank you for the critique and for noticing his expression! :)
