Thank you for the compliment, Matthew! That was my intention in changing the direction of his gaze, to make him look pensive. I finished the drawing late last night/early this morning and have posted it in Unveilings. After reading Jimmie's suggestion yesterday I was inspired and took off the whole side of his face in shadow and started over! I was much more meticulous and using Jimmie's reference photo (improvement) was able to be a bit more subtle with the tonal range, I think. Overall, I am pretty happy with this one!
I also tried to take better photographs. This is not reading as dark as it is in person. Guess I need to attach PhotoShop this weekend and start using it.
