Lacey, he is adorable.

I personally wouldnt paint from these myself- his face in each is one value. Going to be impossible to show form it seems.

Lacey, I think I'll echo Kim (that makes us even, Kim) by saying that 1) he is a handsome kid, and 2) I wouldn't use these to paint from. Just enjoy them as photos, treasure the mohawk that way, and take some new reference photos with good light/shadow contrast. He'll make a great portrait subject. That's my 2 cents' worth!

Thanks very much, ladies! You've just saved me a lot of time and evergy.

There are so many color/temperature shifts in there that it gets tempting at times! But, I know I'd just end up painting a rainbow face.
