Love, love, love this! It's drawn in such a wonderful style: very realistic, yet with that wonderful hand-drawn quality. I love how the details fade out at the bottom. Fabulous. And he looks so friendly and warm, too!
Whoa, beautiful! Is this something you made earlier? It reminds me of your older realistic work you've shown before. Though it has an elegant looseness, this one.
I remember looking at a portrait of Lincoln hanging in the hall at Lindbergh Elementary School and thinking he looked very stern. Your Lincoln would have been so much better to look at. It's lovely!
Beautiful illustration and timely too!
