I made this miniature painting for a homemade holiday gift exchange party

Edit: size is 3x2 inches

Wow, this is incredibly well done. The shading on the hands, and the shading on pretty much everything, looks very natural to me and i LOVE how you captured the texture of the fleece on his sleeves and collar, almost as much as i love how well you delineated his face.

constructive criticism, if you would like: linework is a fuzzy (unless that's a stylistic choice, which is valid). hair is a little too... what's the word. looks similar to a wig rather than hair, like the hair is a singular piece. the linework on the hands is a bit wonky too but i will say the shading really makes up for a lot of that.

Edited to add: holy shit this is MINIATURE??? that is impressive and one hell of a feat :O

oh my god it's MINIATURE??? can you please put the size in the description or something? that's amazing

Oh yes I should have added that, it’s 3x2 inches

Thank you! Yes it was a bit small for me at 3x2 inches to get all details right haha. I appreciate your feedback!

Dude that looks like Will Ferrel in 'Elf'.

Some slight proportional issues, as well. Most notably the eyes which are over exaggerated. Still, very impressive and a strong likeness!
