Thanks, Jimmie. These comments will definitely help me refine the drawing. I went home for lunch and studied it and will be anxious to return to it probably tomorrow. I have to check the forehead, the Patton kids have strong foreheads. And I had to laugh to read your critique on the ear lobe. My sisters LOVED it that I minimized his ears! It was intentional.
I could take some lessons from you on finishing a portrait as far as clothing goes. I do not know how far to take a simple t-shirt when I don't want the viewer to really notice more than the face and perhaps just the tilt of the shoulders (this pose is key to Brian's personality which is what I like about the ref pic) I am thinking about going into the shirt a bit more, and yes, the double line is horrible now that I look at it. A perfect example of what happens when I rush through in the early, early morning. I have to force myself to put the pencils down and stop fiddling when I am tired!
I will definitely post this as I progress. Can you give me any pointers for rendering the shirt? It is not attractive in the photo so I thought to just make the suggestion of a t-shirt?
