Kevin
This is a portrait of my son, Kevin, that I am working on and having some trouble with. I apologize for the dark reference photo and don't know if it will help, however it is all I have. The photograph is appealing to me because of the light falling on his face.
My problem seems to be with the mouth and I have looked at it upside down, in a mirror and till my eyeballs are rolling in my head! In my drawing it looks like he is pursing his lips. This is the second attempt at this portrait and I may have to begin again, which is fine. I want to get it right.
I would like opinions on how far to go with the plaid jacket, I know it needs work to make it look like it curves at the front properly, and to "finish it". The photo does not show the shadows as dark as they seem to be in actuality. I may try to take them further with an 8B. I need to fix the eye on our right, if you look closely the iris is not right.
Thanking you in advance!
