Looks great Tom! I saw it on DA first and thought it was a pencil drawing at first glance. Only thing I can critique it on is that the glasses frames look a bit flat. I especially love the mouth and the reflections on the glasses. Something I struggle with and something I love drawing myself.

I think the skin texture is quite well done.
I wonder if his activism would have effected any change had he not been murdered - probably not, unfortunately.

This is phenomenal work. Your photoshop drawings always have this unique feel to them unlike regular pencil drawings. A really large print of this would be great!

I reckon this your best digital work to date, Tom. Any chance of a tutorial/walkthrough of how you did this?

Very nice, Tom.
I think a little more sharpness "somewhere" would help a lot.
The frame maybe?

I think that after Lennon was killed a myth started that John wrote the lyrics to all their songs, when the truth is that most of the songs were written by them individually after Sgt. Pepper.
Here's a good example I found on the internet entitled "Let it Be"
A couple of major flaws in this idea. One is that Paul McCartney wrote the song, and "Mother Mary" in the song refers to Paul's Mother whom had passed away.

That drawing is classic ... the artist should have titled it "Live and Let Die".

Mother Mary is lookin' kinda manly! I think she bears a resemblance to Vesa Toskala.
