I see it immediately
Thanks, I see what you mean and I will make the adjustments on the right side of the face. Love how obvious it becomes when another set of eyes "scans" the drawing! Also, I did not understand that the light in the pupil is a "reflective suggestion of something the viewer cannot see". Today's revelation! I will make that adjustment also.
As far as the hair, do you mean that I should block in the form as defined by light and tonal range and then go back and take out highlights with a kneaded eraser to suggest hair? My approach was to execute a build up of "hairs" and then use kneaded erasure where necessary. But obviously -- please excuse my naivete -- I have yet to take a class in portraiture (starts next week, yeah!).
I have been living in an environment devoid of fellow artists, and only recently began a semi-formal education. So I am a hungry student. Hungry, hungry, hungry!
Your remarks and suggestions are taken seriously.
