Sharon and Linda thanks for all of your advice. I did notice that the perspective was off in it's early stages. Usually when I'm painting a portrait it takes me a while to get all the proportions in order. I usually just draw the eyes and then start blocking the right color in and going from there. I really need to get all the form first. This will def. make it a lot easier on me. My painting was tilted on and angle and was leaning on a gallon water jug. Not sure if this could have messed up the perspective at all the way the portrait was tilted? Any way enough excuses, I just need to concentrate on the form and be more precise with the proportions right away to make it easier on my self.

A gallon water jug!? That's a new one one me.

The tilt or angle really does affect the painting. It must be absolutely perpendicular and not angled in any way.
