Perhaps we should create a set of "Recommended Steps", something like Sharon's post, above, that we could direct people to on the forum when their work shows a need to revisit the basics.

This would prevent us from having to repeat the same advice over and over, sometimes to the same person more than once!

(I know that just creating this list could be a source of endless argument between some of the pros, so perhaps we could ask Cynthia to just pick someone to write a list of their top 10 portrait artist skills or exercises. Any of the long term pros on this forum could write a very adequate list that most of us would agree to.)

Karin, to address your question about how to avoid creating resentment in the recipient of a critique: sometimes it's unavoidable. Some folks don't listen to the gentler, subtler tips and sometimes a post like the one you refer to are very necessary for the artist in question to hear. Sometimes the truth hurts.
