Hi Bryan,

It's very hard almost impossible to work from a photo that small...I would suggest you check the slight tilt of the head...the drop in the shoulders, the angles of his jaw and the lightness of his ears. Family have a way of twisting your arm. If your cousin could come and sit for you that would be great. You need more information than what you are getting from a one inch head shot. In the future for commissions, if they have a photo that is a favorite, see if they can come for a sitting or a photo sitting and try and match the photo. If that's not possible I always turn the commission down because that compromises the quality of your work and the potential client doesn't know you had poor reference material. Remember that's your name out there.
