Peter Jochems suggested that I post some of my current stuff, and I guess there's no harm in it, but I recognize that I've got a long way to go, and critiques from pros are not being solicited here, as I can see for myself that I have a lot of room for improvement. I'll keep plugging away and ask for critiques when I feel like I've hit a roadblock. I'm not currently at a roadblock. I'm just at the beginning of the road.
This is a self-portrait from life. Unfortunately, I can only find one model who'll pose as long as I want. Fortunately, he works for free
