I just couldn't control that nagging urge to paint! So here is the portrait, corrected with the following suggestions:
1) Yes everybody, the ear was too small and too low...I think I got it right this time!
2) Corrected the angle of the top of the head and lowered the hair line
3) Increased the value on the shadow side (did I go too dark?)
4) Increased the value on the light side
5) Decreased the side of the sitter's left jaw (mandible)
6) Soften turning edges in the shadows
7) Accented the shadow under the nose trying to be very carful about that highlight on the cheek, Steven!
8) Put the sitter's left eye more into the shadow
That's about it! Any more comments or suggestions? Or are you fed up with hearing about this one?
