Thanks for the encouragement, Jean and Jeff.
Here's a shot after the last little bit of work I did on it. I am still trying to get the eyebrows on properly and I will then probably gesso over it. I used this piece primarily to practice what I'm learning from my drawing teacher about planes and measurement, and I've learned about all I can from it at this point. I'm afraid the skin tones are washing out with the rather cheap camera I am using, which is unfortunate because they're not too bad. Chris Saper's book is next on my list of things to buy, though.
If I can get a decent pair of eyebrows done I'm probably going to put it to rest. I have a portrait of one of my meditation teachers in the works for trying dark/ethnic skin tones and to work more on planes and especially values.
Thanks again!
