Gokhan in Thumbnail Size

I understand that it's not easy as it looks to simplify the lines and still keep the same expression. Even if you know those lines by heart.

I tried to draw my partner Gokhan, exaggerated his characteristic lines to make him recognizable. Then I asked his 8 years old son whether it looks like his father. Well, he said, his hair and eyebrows are less dark and his beard is darker (because he has not shaved today). So I made these corrections.

This time I asked Gokhan, and he said, you made me a tramp.

I started to love GIMP.
