Mischa,
Thanks for the input. Yes, you may be right on the size. I know using photographs as a reference can make proportions look off. I will make some adjustment to his size. I'm going to add some red, orange and a touch of burnt umber and see. When I'm done, I will post another photo.

Thanks again Mischa!

Paul, I think the changes look good. The mans shoulder are almost facing us so should can be a touch bigger plus the length of space from shoulder to elbow needs attention. On the same side the jacket below the elbow can go out more.

all the best

Mischa,
Yes, now I look at it, his right elbow does look small. I think I didn't want to go off the canvas on that. I will make the changes and post again. I really appreciate your input.


Thanks
