Jean, I missed this in December as I was very busy.

I asked my wife who is not an artist to compare the first post with the last, and see which one she preferred. She said, the first. That was my thought as well. The first drew your eye into the nice feel of the flesh. The last steals your attention to the bottom of the drawing to the uninteresting shirt which dominates the drawing and weighs it down.

The portrait is very nice, however, but I would not have drawn so much of the shirt. Sometimes we should stop sooner. That is the hardest part of drawing -- knowing when to stop.
