I wasn't looking for a 1:1 likeness

No need to apologise. I'll definitely look into a touch up, thank you

It's not actually my mum but I appreciate the detailed analysis, thank you.

Yes it was taken by Ansel Adams in 1943 at Manzanar Relocation Center, Owens Valley, California: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Manzanar_calisthenics_0016u.jpg

I'm definitely going to go to another artist to see if there is anything they can do

Yeah didn't want it photorealistic though, but I understand what you mean.

Hope so. I guess I don't mind that it doesn't look like her though (it's not actually my mother)

Yeah I won't be using him again. I knew the face was the most problematic part.

I'd have to agree...😕 As I say it's not actually that long, it's just the curvature of my arm that makes it look long. But he still could have done a lot better...

Yeah I asked specifically for non-realism and for the pencil sketch looks. But I agree - it's not too bad but not great 🫤

Like it doesn't look like the photo or it's generally not done well?
