Oh ... if you only knew.

The face is just a cross-contour drawing at this point - no paint yet, and no hair yet either. When I start on the head forms there'll be lots to critique there however.

About the shoulders, I have been struggling with the need to describe what's actually happening versus constructing based on the underlying structure. I'll take another look at that tonight. What do you think would better serve the figure in this area? Specifically, are they not sloping as expected?

About the Rakusu, it is ironed rather flat and is pretty stiff and just drapes over the front. Would showing it more 'wrapped around' the figure describe it better?

Thanks for your input, Jeff. I value your opinion and I hope we can encourage other students to pitch in. I think peer review holds much promise for those of us who are students struggling without a teacher.

Thanks again!

Minh
