It is looking much better Leslie. See how the neck took form, by just doing that slight adjustment.

Never be afraid of ruining a painting, because that becomes a roadblock on your route to mastering a better technique.
My mom was after me for a real long time to repaint a painting that hangs in my house, saying it was sooo orange. She is of course right, but I told her that I will keep it just the way it is to remind of how far I have come in trying to become better. When I compare those skin tones to the ones I am doing now, it is rewarding to see that no time has been wasted.

You are on the right track and don't get frustrated. You will see that with Marvin's approach ( if followed step by step) a lot of the frustration can be eliminated.

Keep up the good work!
