A great thanks to everyone. You are exactly correct. It is funny after I posted it,I could see the teeth gaps, the nostril uneven, the harshness in the neck and all. Alex, the ears are light because I just have not worked on them but thanks, I realize that the value needs to change. The lips too are indeed too plump.
Grethe, again I seem to trust the old eye and it certainly does not work all the time. That too is why I chose to post here. I really needed (as you all can clearly see) a new insight and fresh eyes to see all of the above. As I had stated in the Creativity section, I had just about given up and was quite depressed about this and his sisters painting as well. Yes, there is one more and no, I am afraid to post it here. I will just start it over.
Thanks to all of you here, I have more zest
now to tackle them. When your creativity goes out the door and the every day functions of life seem to be too much, it just gets very difficult as I am sure you all have experienced.
Garth, thanks too for your Photoshop info. I found that animation tool is here on mine. I will need to play with it awhile and see how to use it. One more question on this. I see that I can
grid the photos too . I need to figure out how to make both (reference and painting) the exact size and the proportions of the squares on the grid the same too. This would certainly be of much help at times like this. I also wish one could
print them with the grid but I do not think that you can keep the grid on them. I share this PC with hubby so I cannot leave it always here .
The week-end will not see much painting with grandson playing ball, etc.so I will post again when I feel I have corrected some of the suggested items.
God Bless
