The shadow knows




I think the problem is the discrepancy between the different shadow areas. Whatever is influencing the shadow side of the face obviously is having no bearing on the shadows of the shirt. All shadows need to be consistent, color influence and temperature wise, or the painting looses unity. The same holds true for the lights.
