Hi all,
Here a color/ value study I did to see how close I could get to my ref. Used a small jpeg but tried to paint in some details in the brushwork. Please tell me if you like it, dislike it, or whatever comes to mind, thanks for your time.

| Hey, Daryl, that's pretty realistic. Hopefully you're not going to practice this photorealism in your concept illustrations:) |

Hey, that's very cool! the lighting works very well.
Small crits : the edges seem to be too unifrmly sharp overall, could have used some variation, like be a bit softer on the fingers (esoacially that light/shadow transition on the left hand)
also, I think the face (which is the primary focal point) could have used an extra layer of detail and precision (especially eyes and beard) .

Nice Daryl. Values are perfect. I have poor value sense 
I agree with what M@ said. The face probably could use a bit more detail (mainly the eye i think) |

thanks guys, truly greatful for your replies!
annis, DJINN, Ian Jones: thanks a lot! glad you like.
m@: yep, you're right. when I get carried away in that brushwork, I guess the idea would be to crosshatch into other values and colors but a softer brush would probably be better and let the eye rest for a bit as well.
yeah, the face lacks detail. I should either paint in more details from imagination or have chosen a bigger ref pic.
choboroy: yep I agree.
sub_ben: hehe probably not. I wouldn't get nowhere nere the realism when painting from nothing 
here are some progress shots..
thanks again! /D
*edit* forgot to give credit to photographer - Owaki/Kulla
