Another 4 or 5 hours yesterday (neck and ciggy) and this afternoon (coat/jacket)....getting close to finishing first pass...

Finished up the first pass just now. About 25 hours in. Feeling okay for not having even picked up my pencils for something like 4 years (whenever the last post on the Sweeper Woman was?). Will now go back and do some adjustments on details/levels/etc.

Just shot a pic in the sunlight....might be a bit better than the previous one.

Skin texture, hat, jacket, tie and those gorgeous shirt wrinkles....all A+++++ IMO!! Those eyes are magnetic - they lock onto the viewer's eyes. A pleasure to see!

Question: since we go back quite awhile on the forum Kenny I don't think you'll mind an observation. If I look at his hat and the slight tilt of the brim, I might expect a bit more of a shadow over his left (our right) forehead and eye. Is it there and am I just not seeing it on my screen?

You're not missing anything, I'll take another look. I was actually hesitating about even making the second pass even though I'm least pleased with the forehead shadow. Dark darks are touchy as you know without resorting to carbon or charcoal.... I'll definitely take a close second look at that area compared to the reference.

Anxious to get back to the Sweeper-Woman.

Thanks!

P.S. actually looking at the reference these not hardly any difference at all in the hat shadow. ... maybe due to the lighting they used for the photo. I think this was used on the cover of Life magazine....or at least in the magazine.

P.P.S - looking at it again this morning I'm thinking there is some slight adjustment just as you noticed which I will do before finalizing and fixing.

and P.P.P.S - always accepting of comments/feedback. More eyes the better.

It's always tricky when we don't have the reference photo to compare, Kenny. I agree that if it needs any adjustment at all, it's a slight adjustment only. I was just going off instinct but glad if it helped in any way
