Thank you Stephen!
It has been in the back of my mind all along. I have had other critiques and they seem irritated by the ear in the light being do sharp. The dark ear is an oversight. I was seriously thinking of contrasting a golden earring coming from the shadow and did not finish the lobe! I noticed it once and see it at very inopportune times.
This is a model from an open studio I attend regularly. He is a notorious fidgeter but having the luck of his eyes focused on my easel, as he sank and straightened, my only adjustment was the slight perspective shifts as he tilted up and down.
This was from a 3 hour sitting alla prima and, although I snapped a ditital of him at the end of the pose, I feel almost jinxed if I do much alteration without the model.
When I get braver, I will post a few of my small (because I have not gotten any large) commissions. Thanks for all your input.
