Nearly There, Dugald


Just really some tonal glazes and bumping up selected highlights and details now. The eyes are better and I've slimmed down the left hand side of his face. The creases at the top of the nose need fixing as do the colours on the non-bright light side of the face, so they're more even but not too even, and, more significantly, the right temperature: i.e. ochre-greenish warm shadow detail and cooler pink cheeks (I've managed to do it the wrong way around, giving him cool blue-purple shadows and warm pink cheeks). Though, one of the reasons I was interested in having Dugald in such strong sunlight was to see what weird and wonderful colours in light and shadow it would throw up.

I'll come back to it next weekend for a fresher look before these final bitties. Don't want to stuff it up now.
