Hi Chris

I'm trying out some new techniques that don't put such a strain on my eyes. Hope you don't mind.

I've added a bit of texture back into them to stop them looking totally flat  :)

Glad you like them  :)

When you get the names, let me know and I'll do a combined one with their names on.

I have a deep respect and regard for coal miners. It was one hell of a job

That first young man is crying out to be a Blue Eyed Boy Portrait.  Wish I had the talent you guys have to do it?

Unfortunately Havenchris hasn't been online since 2014, but with luck he may receive a notification that someone has posted on this thread and log back on.

Good luck!
