Allan - I thought about pulling up some of the graphite with a kneaded erasure, to lighten it.
Thumbnails - what a good idea and it would not have occured to me, either. I will do some thumbnails this weekend. I love lost edges in works I have studied. It's like magic! In profile it seems actually drawing the contour of the nose always makes it look bigger than it is. Letting the shading define the contour of the nose seemed to work in this case. I guess I should not worry about ruining this piece - I'll feel my way through some thumnails...
...and definately keep you posted, here!!
Thanks I REALLY appreciate the input I get here!
