Made for practicing portraits.

One of my friends told me the eyes make him look like a vampire, so I kept them as they were, gives the portrait a nice Romanian touch.

Omg I love the brushwork ๐Ÿ˜

I think the eyes make him look vampiric because of the slightly yellow tone and slightly upturned lower eyelids...though the crimson tinges in his hair and deep contrast in his outfit might be part of it ๐Ÿ˜‚ The face shadows too

Thank you, I make a conscious effort to make the brushwork a point of appeal.
