A photo of Ram that a friend took at the recent WSOPEIn painting Ram, I realised that he has a very good facial structure, and very dark rings around his eyes. As always, I try to emphasise these character traits to make a portrait that captures someone's look in a way that a photo might not be able to, but in doing so I'm not sure if I went overboard on the cheeks and jawbones? To be totally honest, I can see Ram when I look at this painting, I'm just not sure how much I can. I have a feeling I might need to make his lips a bit smaller and more pursed. I don't know, maybe he looks good as is?
Sometimes I just can't tell with my own work. I know I can see Ram in this portrait, I just don't know whether it needs some slight adjustments so that everyone else can.
Feedback people!!

the more i look at this the more i think it rocks, and the longer i stare at it the more I can see Ram's face... but is he instantly recognisable? this one's twisting my melon man :-/
