Thoughts on Rebecca's Portrait
Hi,
I think this is a lovely portrait. Posting your your source photograph makes it easier to pick on the likeness and mistakes rather than looking at the work of art for what it is. Without the source photo I might not make the same observations.
But since you have, I will chime in on the likeness. On first glance three major areas hit me:
1) The shadow on the left side of the lip could be emphasized and warmed up a bit more to add dimension.
2) The shadow on the left side of the face (cheek) could be warmed up a bit too, this would add contrast between your warm and cools, and once again add dimension.
3) The shadow on the left of her nose, is trickier, this is always a hard shadow for me to get just right. I might suggest adding a little warmth there too. Of course, if you go too far it might mess up a lovely portrait.
Anyway, those are my immediate thoughts. I am sure they will be very pleased with it, just as it is.
