Mischa,

I think you've done a wonderful job with whatever reference photos you have, especially considering the fact that you didn't know you would be using the photos for a portrait.

The only thing I would work on more would be the integration of the heads with the background. Right now they seem to be too much like cutouts. I would like to see more modeling of facial structure and turning of the side planes into the space around the heads. Of course I realize you probably are struggling with the references which may not give you adequate information, but it would be nice to see a fuller value range.

Alex, thank you for taking the time, a fresh eye is always appreciated.

Yes, I do agree with your suggestion and will make some adjustments. Both subjects are fare skinned, blond and creating the dark shadows did not work well in this case. So, making the changes you suggested will make a big difference.

Good looking out.
