Dianne, one of the biggest problems that artists have is the distractions. When we learn to start simple by introducing general values and hue first, we will be better off. The professional artist starts simple and gets everything in the right place before going ahead. I watched Shanks paint and he follows this simple procedure. When we start introducing this color and that color and the other color that is when we get into trouble. Us the general color in the light and shadows and adjust all until it is all perfect. While adjusting, introduce some grays at proper value, as you see it.
Drawing is never finished until all the shapes are at correct value in their proper place. If you see that the space between the eyes is to wide figure out why and how best to fix it. If you must move the eye so be it. If you must adjust the whole side of the face than do it. If you need to put it all back than put it back.
Once again do all the prep work as simple as possible do not introduce distracting colors until all is in its proper place. You mite be able to hide something with color but you are hiding it form your self for then you wont be able to find what the problem is.
Wish you to be the best and better .
