Robert portrait

I hate having to take pictures of things like this.
The photos never do the real thing any justice

Anyway, this is a portrait of my step-grandfather's son Robert. I did this portrait for my grandfather for christmas, because Robert died back during the end years of the Vietnam War due to a bad blood transfusion.
The original version of this was a little sloppier because I was pressed for time. I planned on revising this a few months ago, but my grandfather didn't want me to take it.

He just passed away on the 20th, so I took the portrait home this past weekend to work on it. This is the finished product.
I sorta wish he'dve let me take it home to work on so he could see it how it is now, because I kinda feel like revising it was pointless.


Here's the photo I used for reference:

You can critique it if you want, but don't expect me to revise it again.
I sliced up my fingers trying to get that thing back in its frame DX<
