@Durrell-Odom cool idea to have all of these men in the same room, I like it.

I was looking at Obama too and I think you might be having a problem with layering and perspective. He looks smaller than King but is in front of him which is messing with the perspective a bit. I think maybe if you broadened his shoulders so that his silhouette read as closer it would work better. Just a thought. Or maybe if you pushed King's hand holding the bible back it might help? Not sure. Just a thought.

WOW this is great. You've really captured likenesses and character so brilliantly here. I don't have anything to add, critique-wise, but please continue to post your progress! Such a cool piece

[Durrell Odom]

@Eli thanks. It's been a while but here's a WIP.

I like the change to Malcom's shirt and positioning. I think that really brought the piece back together. Everyone feels in proportion now. The only thing I would say about him though is his book looks really big!

The color on the chalkboard is really working well too.

Nice to see some progress.

Cool concept. Are you looking for critique at this point?

I'm loving Mandela sitting there grinning.

@theprairiefox thanks. Malcolm X part was bothering me a lot until I shot some new reference.

[Durrell Odom]

@TessaW thanks. A critique would be helpful rn, but I'm going for that Chris Van Allsburg's Polar Express look. Not looking forward to adding more details as I go along.

[Durrell Odom]

Finally done. Please let me know what you think.

@Durrell-Odom looks very good. Nice to see it finished.

I love your stuff can’t wait to see more.
