Jean and Steven,

The hazard in the split is that the dark's weight, without intermediate values, can make the lighter passages appear unfinished.
I don't remember precisely what was going on in my mind at the time I drew Arlie (man). My guess would be that a couple of years ago I didn't have the commitment to the degree of completion that I have today. It may have also been an attempt to gain some sort of perceived dramatic effect.

I don't mind using it as an example to learn from. I would hope to do a better job today.
