Steven!!!!!!!!!
Oh it is so good to open up the forum and see your name. First, just to know you are around. Because you contributed so much to my development as an artist, I feel partial to ya! Your critiques taught me more than I could have ever learned in books or any classroom I have ever been in. I would advise any newcomers on the forum to go back into the archives and read EVERY critique Steven ever gave on portrait drawings. His lessons, his eye, and of course, his good humor and wit are priceless and will really teach you how to LOOK at your drawing/reference.

That said, I KNEW something was still wrong about the mouth and you spotted it right away, the simplest, slightest adjustment and now his mouth is dead on - I was holding it up in mirrors, looking at it upside down, and I knew it was off, just couldn't see where. THANK YOU!

I will revisit the ear, I think you are right just looking at it now. And I will go in darker as I finish it up, but you read my mind, in that I was afraid of going too dark because of the reference photo!!

Great to hear from you Steven. Hope you are painting up a storm and doing well, and that you come here to visit us as often as is possible...

Now, back to work!
