Thanks, first.<BR/>I went straight to wikipedia, which told me that this has to be the same George Kennan who was a diplomat, US Ambassador to the USSR for 4 months in 1952, then Yugoslavia.

With just a few lines and limited modeling you demonstrated the "mass" of the hand perfectly I also loved the top of the head and the chin, surperb rendering and the abundance of texture... In this day and age of "photorealism" and "refined" drawing it is refreshing to see real feeling and authenticity!
