Thank you all for the encouragement.

Your drawing skills are really beginning to manifest and that's the biggest problem for everyone.
That's actually the part that bothered me the most. The face was too long, but I decide not to waste too much time fixing it and jump into the painting.

The only thing I would council you to do is to try and keep the shadow side values from getting contaminated with the halftone and light values. This will give you stronger sense of the form.
I find myself feeling like I'm contaminating everything!!! I go back and forth making errors, which is ok as long as I learn from it. I do notice I have a hard time getting the light areas to come out. I would'nt know if it's the underlayers which have'nt dried or what. More practice, I'll keep you guys updated. Thanks again.
