Lon,

As for method, I tried to stick to Daniel Greene's technique for laying out proportions, but I'm starting to see that I may not have succeeded very well. By doing a computer flip-chart kind of analysis (flipping back and forth between the photo and drawing), I see that I got the proportions of length pretty well laid out, but my widths and angles are off a bit.

As for shading, Green didn't cover that, but I was probably mimicking what I learned from Tony Ryder's book, layering shades rather than laying down exact values on the first go.

As an exercise, I think I'll set shading aside and spend some time working on proportions, angles, etc. only.
