Hi Kim - thanks!

Well, you've confirmed my fears. I was afraid I had the face too flat. It's looking a bit 'cartoony' to me.

The eyes are a little squintier in the photo, you're right. They're also a lighter brown than came through on the scanned photo. (The original reference photo is film-based and some of the darks scanned a bit darker than the original.)

I do really like the oils... It is SO much easier to blend! (Though I'm fighting a tendency to blend too much!!) This is my second little oil now... the first one is here.
