This is very nicely done. The attention you pay to the details is amazing. You leave nothing undone, and everything is flawlessly taken care of. From the big areas to the smallest wrinkle, every detail makes the piece that much more realistic. The shading you use makes the piece very believable. I would especially like to compliment you on his hair and on his sunglasses.
The background is so simplistic; it is the one part of the piece that I am not sure about. In a way it contrasts nicely with the high detail of Gerard Butler, but in other ways it is too simple.
