Everyone has an opinion, thats fine. If you where to hold these in your hand in person...I would doubt that someone would say that. But it is ok not everyone will, everyone has different taste. If I let that bother me then I would not be here today, it's that simple!
Thank you for accepting my right to opine although you may not agree with me. You are a talented artist. I respected the artistic genius of Vincent van Gogh but there were a few of his paintings I didn't care for either including 'The Potato Eaters'. I do really dig 'Undergrowth With Two Figures'.
Dbrooks55, the sketches look quite realistic but just strike me as too somber. Athletes are intense and spirited and if that vitality were conveyed in the artistic effort even subtly, you would have an outstanding artistic product in my opinion.
The Favre sketch to me is the most impressive. The portrayal of Favre appears more humanistic and the facial expressions more relaxed. I apologize if I got carried away with overly descriptive reactions. Keep developing as an artist by remaining open minded and receptive to viewers reactions or perceptions.
