Hi Mary,
This is coming along nicely, but I see a problem with the chin. It doesn't look centered to me. Also, the eyes appear to be in two different positions, though they still give the illusion of both looking the same direction, so maybe they're accurate.
I bought Daniel Greene's pastel video, "Jim", which arrived yesterday. I just finished watching it this morning. He has a great technique for getting an accurate drawing (calm down, Hockney. It's not what you're thinking). He starts with four hard pastels, sharpened to a point. They are earth tones, and have different values, and he starts drawing with the lightest one. As he progresses, he re-draws with the next darker, then the next, getting progressively more accurate before moving on to color.
If you don't have this video, I recommend it highly. I bought it to learn more about drawing. I'm not sure I'll get into pastels. I wanted Peggy's sauce video, but she was out of the country, and I was impatient.
