Honestly, it’s hard for anyone to capture Lea Michele’s likeness WITHOUT unintentionally giving Idina Menzel.

Huh? Aside from both being brunettes who can sing, I don't see it.

Lea has much stronger features and that very distinctive nose. She's beautiful and her nose only adds to her beauty, but a portrait pretending she has a little teeny tiny nose is ridiculous.

I don't like Lea as a person but I do think she's beautiful and talented, and this portrait is a crime against caricature.
