Thank you for adding me to your fav’s. An interesting start, He's defiantly there! so your likeness practicing is good as for the skills and technique they will improve. If we look at the structure and form of your work it is a little lacking in depth this mainly comes for the setting out before. I know it's difficult but try having a beyond belief paint at the back of your mind, with what you want it to show. Never write words on the work? Why because it looks very amateur, your work above is very good for light with the white light you have added but don't forget the first highlight should be the shadow, in the hair, mouth, eye sockets, neck and a small amount in the lips then the white, this will help to give depth. The nearer you are to his nose the lighter the skin tone and the father away the darker. It matters not one bit the colour of the skin, if the tones are right as they will always look like skin if the tone is correct. Well done Brian
