Another peer critique before repairs?
I completed this self-portrait from life/mirror in November at the start of my 'painting season', after having been away from the easel since April or so. And now after drawing and painting for the last few months, and being able to see the glaring errors more readily, I want to dive back into it and try to fix the biggest problems. Here's what I have so far:
* Ear is horrendous; needs complete redo
* Hair is pretty bad, in general
* Description of form where the cheek meets the nose is lacking (many other places I'm sure)
* Need to better describe the turns around my big nose (How?) and fix the nostril
* Right-side eye is fundamentally wrong
* Lips do not recede properly into shadow and so they look 'clipped'
Would some kind soul add to my still-growing list?
Thanks for any asistance at all.
