Who it suits

This sketch is ideal for individuals who appreciate classic design, automotive culture, and characters with a strong moral compass. The portrait’s impactful composition would look impressive on the upper arm, allowing the detail to be fully appreciated, or across the chest, symbolizing a core strength of character.
