2lbs of charcoal removed!
Hi. I used q-tips to gently remove much of deep shadows, lightened the midtones and decreased highlights. Also fixed his (I think) his mouth and did more work on the hair per your suggestions Steven. I believe I got all of them. Better now? As I said before, picky is good. You were right, this seems much more like Dean, thank you again Steven.
Lon, yes, this was a difficult source photo, but better than what I was working from for his painting. If I had my druthers I'd have photographed him myself, but didn't have that option in this case. All in all, it was still an extremely rewarding project, good for my soul.
