This is a work in progress, and my first paid
portrait commission.
For some reason, I feel like this portrait is just lacking impact... Not sure if it's the lighting (it was very neutral/gray in the original reference photos, so I pushed it to more warm/cool - was that the wrong decision?) or just that the eyes lack a highlight (should I add one? - there was none in any of the reference photos taken that day) Any other ideas?
(I should note that their hair, limbs and his shirt are still very rough!)
