Portrait Thoughts
Hello Richard,
I have been thinking about what I might add to the comments. I hesitate to say too much as I see you have signed it and you are no longer able to look at the model.
All in all, it is a strong piece. I like seeing the paper through the drawing. The only real element that sticks out and bothers me is the background. It seems you did a very thoughtful rendering and then you quickly blocked in a background without giving it as much thought as the portrait itself.
The strong yellow stands out a bit much and competes too strongly with the flesh tones. If I were to revisit your portrait, I might put a little more effort into the background. Perhaps you could carefully establish a darker value, without messing with it too much and loosing the nice fresh look.
