I really love the color choice in this! It really makes the shading much more interesting than just a monochrome, and it's also just a lovely combination on its own.

It's really awesome how spontaneous this looks, I don't know, it's just so simplistic and still very detailed. The scribbly lines add a lot of character to it

Nice style! It's not exactly any one style, but more like a mixture of several styles, and the colors that you used were a great choice. Great job, and I'm lovin' the style on this one.

Wow! This is just fantastic! I really like the sketchy feel to this piece and the way it brings out personality in the man's face. However, The background takes a lot away from the piece. Although the yellow and the blue both work well with the piece, the transition between the two seems awkward and sloppy. I suggest finding a way to have the two connect better or even just use one colour for the background. For example, if you place the head against the right edge of the page, the blue/darker colouring would be more a natural shadow and would have to mix with the yellow. Then just have the rest of the page yellow. It would also help if you were to clean up the background of the image more. The face does well with the sketchy composition but I think a clean flat background or even a graded wash would make the image look sharper and bring more focus to the face and not the chaos. but overall, this piece has a lot of soul in it and it really brings out a relaxed, blues kind of feeling. I really like how you've used the colours and I think besides what I mentioned, it turned out very nicely

You're awesome for drawing this man, he's one of my favourite jazz people honestly. I like the ink on this, nice job on the glasses too!

I love your colors! You remember simple principles and they pay off, reflective light, value and form really show that you've paid attention and worked at them! I love his hat and glasses, he looks really happy! I'm wearing that color yellow now, so I'm probably biased, but it really works with the purple! the smeary ink look is great for this as well, the way it smears looks so authentic and beautiful! Thanks for letting me see it!
