We're getting a little ahead of ourselves. The living room trim isn't half finished yet.
Is the top of the face blank? Or is that from the camera's flash? From what I can see of the face, the expression seems kind of stern. I'm not up to speed on Buddhist beliefs, but I'd expect a religiously-oriented portrait to reflect an inner peace. It's still early in this portrait, so maybe I'm judging the face too quickly.
Also, double check the line of the shoulders. I don't feel bone and muscle under them. Same for the front of the robe. Look for the contours that indicate that the fabric lays on top of a human form.
Over all, a good start.
If this critique doesn't help, I'll give you a full refund.
