Terri - that would figure that the nose is pretty well proportioned; it's the thing I've touched the least!
I'm also used to working big and this is 9"x12" and the features are a lot smaller than I'm used to painting, so maybe my brain is trying to make everything bigger. Hmph anyway.
I'm really grateful for your photoshop pictures. Wow. Now I know I've got another tool to use to keep things accurate. Of course, I wonder if the best way to keep features in proportion isn't just to get it right the first time so there's minimial reworking of the area! If that's the case, time and practice (and subsequently confidence) will certainly contribute.
Looks like I've got a bit more work to do on this than I thought...I might not want (or be able to) to totally rework the area, as per your demonstration, Terri, but at the very least I'll bring the eyes down a bit, as per Alice's feedback. At least now I know why I'm not satisfied with his eyes!
Thanks - this is exactly the stuff I need to hear about!
