Beth,

I really like the way you're are pushing the contrast! As for the Carravaggio lighting that Enzie was talking about, I think you should push that a little more, especially on the face.

Although this will not be one of those "pretty pictures" that we see consistently in portraiture, it will be a dramatic piece of art that will show your diversity as a portrait artist. It is a good example of a soulful young man who has seen a lot of life. It seems lately that I am in a rut of little girls with Strasburg dresses or little boys with khakis and a white shirt! I would love to sink my artistic teeth into a portrait like this! And to be able to do a good portion of it from life! WOW, what fun!

Rebecca
