Default Salesman

Well here is my second venture into the world of caricature carving. He is intended to be a stereotype of the old timey salesman, flashily dressed and fast talking. He is the top salesman in the USA so the only thing he sell is tops. Critique him and don't pull your punches.

Well I've tried 7 times to upload the pic and nothing happens. I'll try again later.

doug,

ive made my share of obversational blunders before so dont take it to heart, wish my second was that good

as for proportune your nearly there, but the first thing that strikes me is hes got a lot of breast below his chin like his head is too far back on his sholders (from this pic) maybe a sideview might show different but thats what i see,

colors and paints fine,
but all in all a 9 for a second timer
