Ah, don't worry! It wasn't awkward at all and in general at events like this I'm quite used to being interrupted. I hope I didn't give the impression that I felt disturbed or something like that, if it seemed like this it was simply because it's been a difficult convention for me because of the thing with my grandpa. I hope we can meet again for a different occasion! x)
I really like the shapes in your skype sketches!
And I totally feel you when it comes to looking at old stuff. I also often think to myself then "Why didn't I see this?" I guess it only shows how much you train your vision along with the skills of your hand though.
As far as I can see, I think you know the underlying structures of the face really well already. (I also had a look at some pages back - not too many though, and oh my gosh, that mentorship work you did is really amazing). Cheekbones for example. I find them incredibly hard to paint but I like how you do them! (: For the two pictures above I'd probably say that the eyes are a little off, for the first one it's really hard for me to say what exactly though (not a great help, sorry). In the second one, her right eye is a bit too big I'd say and it doesn't really align with the left one. Take this with a grain of salt though, because I haven't had a look at more realistic anatomy lately, it's just what I feel when I look at it. (At the moment I'm a bit stuck with the flat comic anatomy again orz) Other than that I can only say that I really dig the colours in both portraits! I especially like the light in the last one.
I'm sure that you'll rock those portraits in no time, seeing how fast you pick up on things and you already have a really good base! x)
