Demob, C+C welcomed
 

I wouldn't mind hearing a critique of this one, which is a lot more textured than my usual (acrylics and pastels)
It was taken from a B+W demob photo
Thanks

Hi Margaret,

I really like the feel: I can almost feel the texture of the skin on the right side. However, the unfinished ear on the left side detracts, in my opinion.

Thank you Julie, I'll certainly have another look.

H Margaret, first the feel as Julie has stated looks good. I like your use of value and choice of hue. Now to the good stuff the eyes seem a touch small compared to the size of the face, next the bottom lip on the shadow side our left looks like he has a fat lip, next the ear in shadow has sharp attracting points for it to be in shadow.

I hope this helps
