Lessons unlearned
Chuck,
There is more than a wealth of infomation on this site adressing every problem you have encountered.
If you notice the heading of this Forum you will realize that it stipulates that it is a "Forum for Professional Portrait Painters and Serious Students.
It disturbs me that you have ignored time consuming advice from well meaning professional and continue to consitently repeat the same errors.
If you ARE serious about this field and not simply a Sunday painter I would suggest you take the time to enter a course of study of form in monochrome before you even consider tackling something as difficult as a head. I would spend several years of study before you attempt color. Also I would suggest you take as much figure drawing as you can.
There is also a wealth of information on taking good pictures which you also have ignored.
If you aren't willing to put in the hard work, there is little the Forum can do for you.
