yes he looks sad, but thats perfect for the subject good job capturing it, even it if wasnt intentional.

Lovely stuff.
I think it would be better if the right background was a different colour from white.

Sunday's not my favourite day of the week.

I like this. it doesn't look so much like Johnny Depp, which I think adds to the overall effect.
you did really well on the scars. and the eyes too. the brown is subtle, but very (for lack of a better word) beautiful.
and yes, he does look sad. very abandoned, or even betrayed.

In the reference I used for the original, he looked sorta sad, but... I can't explain the other emotion.. sorta a mix between serious and bemused. Well, when I did the revision, I worked a lot on his eyes and it sorta came out really sad looking. When I saw that, I added a tad bit more shine to look sorta teary. ^_^ so, half intention, half accident.

My FIRST portrait to showcase real emotion, actually. I suck at portraits unless I sit down for hours at a time, post it for others to critique the crap outta it, then revise most of it. This is the only one I actually did that for. I should do that for my other two... >.>...

It doesn't look like Johnny? Well.. I guess that's due to the color. The old, black and white one looked more like Johnny because you could see the fine definition in his cheekbones. Aw well... can't have it all.

Thank you! I thought the scars would look cartoonish... I did them how I would on an anime character then blurred the dark lines out to blend and it actually worked! I swear, my best stuff is by accident. Thank you for your comment!!!!!!

Hmmmmmmm.... >.>... I'll try something and see how it looks. I kept the layered version in case I wanted to revise something else.. I'll fill it in with some light coloring and see what happens. Thank you for your comment!
