Okay, compulsive guy comes back...
Never neglect your major value areas. Do not -- Do not -- put lights in your mid or dark value areas that are the same as values in other areas of your work. (Okay, there are exceptions; they're not invited to this party.)
I usually charge $100 for this (ha-ha, we artists are such cards) but here it is, free: SQUINT
Squint at your source (live or photographic) and at your rendition. You WILL see a correlation, and much more importantly (if you're really looking), a difference. Eliminate that difference, and you will astound the roman forum. That's a good thing, as Martha says, since a thumbs-down gets you a sword through your ambition or a quarter-drawn episodic character.
