Micheal, I like how your noses are turning out. A little observation about the eyes if you don't mind. The upper lashes tend to cast a shadow on the eyeball and the white of the eye is usually not really white, but a grayer value. Give it a shot and see if you like that effect.
I admire how you are hanging in there. I signed up to open studio and have not made it once. Absolutely no time and with a Christmas commission in the works, it doesn't look like it will be any time before the holidays are over.
Maybe this will be the New Years resolution for 2009!
