  1. The portraits you paint are so rich. Their fun and exaggerated, but also full of genuine depth and character. You can tell there are some interesting stories behind those faces. Nice cathedral too.

  13. Very nice drawings. The Forrest is nice, I like it's shapes. I've had a Butler photo in my file for a while now with plans to draw it. Back to the drawing board I guess.

  18. Really nice Ryan. I love seeing your finished paintings, but it's always so interesting to see your sketches too. It's very cool how you indicate light and shadow while still keeping your linework very loose.
