Jean, thanks for the critique. It's pretty true to the reference, although I know I can always alter it myself, but I think the problem is the contrast on screen. It is definitely not this strong in the original, although it is noticeable. Not enough where I would change it, but always good to consider when working on future drawings.

Yes, I take the pictures myself. The best face , from a slr camera, was added to the best body pose, from a digital, and put together on Photoshop for my final reference. I bought a new printer, HP 7960, which is giving me better quality prints for blow ups. Thanks to you and Jeff for the comments.
