Dear Chris,

Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom.

I work in Photoshop a lot in my line of work (not portrait painting...yet), in graphic design. Do you think I can make some adjustments through that software?

Also, being I am not contracted to do this professionally and am only being asked to try I think I would like to give it a try. I will try to post my progress on the forum.

Your answers about the shirt and background are duly noted and I will abide by them.

I think I may do a sepia toned sketch first to see if I find any difficulty with the values as you have cautioned me about the nasal-labial fold. I'll post that and see if you have any input on that if you have the time.

Your response has been greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
