Hi ReNae,

Besides following the drawing corrections, you also need to study the direction of the light as it occurs on the original. You will notice that the painting looks flat in comparison (provided that the scan of your image is true).

Compare the shadow area under the chin as well. In the original it extends the entire length of the chin.

How exciting to be getting a new digital camera! Happy shopping!
