Thanks, Jimmie,

You know I never thought about the highlights being non existent but with light high and to the left I guess that would be a situation where there would not be any seen. It is impossible to see in this reference post but there are very small highlights. So I will definately reduce what I have drawn and tone them down a bit - see how it looks. I don't want to finish the uniform all the way to the bottom of the paper. I like the tapering off effect on drawings, besides this is soooo dark. But I think dad will want the military "strap" that is over the shoulder to be in the portrait as I think it signifies the Armed Guard division of the Navy. That means I have to render the "tie" which will be difficult as it is barely seen in this dark photograph.

Wish me luck - I still need LOTS of it. But thanks for the compliment nonetheless - always means so much coming from you, my drawing MENTOR
