Dear Beth,
I am noticing so much progress in your work. Good for you!
Regarding this painting, I would recommend looking at Carravagio's work, since he favored very dramatic lighting in several of his paintings. I would think by applying a similar effect to your painting you would give the young man the seriousness he is after.
Since the lighting C. used is often like stage lighting, the frontal view is drastically illuminated, whereby the back immediately goes into the dark shadows. I can't wait to see this finished.
