A exceptionally good sketch here. 4.5/5 for Vision because the scene is not described vividly in the book and the image really captures the characters (Crowley is fascinated by the drawing while Leonardo is staring into space, perhaps pondering future sketches.) 4/5 for Originality, the scene is, after all, extracted from a book. However the scene is not described in detail during the book so I feel that the thought that must have been put into this drawing merits the rating (not least that Crowley had to be drawn in the style of the times and without sunglasses!). As for technique, the tone on the cups and pitcher is neat and well executed and Crowley's hair really does seem to flow. The tone has also done a wonderful job of producing the texture of skin, particularly on the hands. The one piece of advice I can offer here is that some darker shades were needed on the white cloth (odd though that sounds) and on Leonardo's hair; the wispy outline, while consistent with a head of long white hair, causes the hair to recede into the background. Similarly, Crowley's white clothing is done in an exemplary fashion, but Leonardo's seems paler; at first glance he could appear to be a floating head. Overall though I'd have to admit that this is a better sketch than I could do in 7 hours. Kudos, as always, for your fantastic Good Omens artwork.
