Portrait critique

[Tygerson]

Okay, I sat there with a ruler for about an hour, trying to fix facial stuff. Hopefully it's a little better, or at least balanced.

So after a few false starts at color, I looked at some Steve Argyle portraits and tried to figure out how he works. (This http://www.steveargyle.com/gallery/artwo...ork_id=187 and this http://www.steveargyle.com/gallery/artwo...ork_id=441 )

Then I made an 8 step value scale and tried to figure out a color for each value for the skin at least. It's better than it was, but still not there. It feels like there is both too much color and not enough.



And without the extra notes:



Any critique would be greatly appreciated!
