Hi Jeanine. I really liked this composition when you first posted it. The balance of light to dark is nice. I think it will be a lovely tribute to him.

I noticed a couple of things. You should probably check the relative size of the head to the shoulders, and the relative size of the shoulders to the hips. Vertically, the height of these relationships should be double checked too. It seems he's getting bigger as we go down, but in the reference this was not quite the case. Also the relative size of the head to the canvas right behind him was different in the reference, making him look more masculine, and less intellectual, so I suppose that would be a artistic choice on your part to make but something to consider.

Good luck, and please post more of this.

Lisa
