A surprise sketch

 

You never know what you will see next when you are active on social media. I have Facebook friends from around the world because of common interests in photography. One of my Facebook friends in India, Ignatious Kalayanthani, uses a sketch for his profile picture and he surprised me by sending my image that he sketched. 

His reference material was from my profile photographs. I thought he did a pretty good job. What do you think?

Roy Kelley, Let me post a color sketch of your face view. Hope that you will enjoy the same

Very cool. Roy -- although I don't know the 'real' you, the likeness looks very close to your photograph.   Have you thought of using for your facebook or AR profile?

Roy- it looks like you... or at least what I know of you from your profile picture and some of the other photos I've seen of you!

Roy: The perspective is all off. Your head is not THAT big, although perhaps we should check with Delores first?

Thank you very much for your comments. Yes, the body is a little small for the head.
