A huge part of the picture is the composition....first mistake you can make is a mug shot at the beggining...

Another thing you can do right at the beggining is make the lighting interesting...that will define alot of the shapes of your face....something a ambient light like you have will not...I get that you have a pretty good sence of how to paint and mix just need to start out quicker and free yourself a little

PineSol + enclosed spaces = :dead:dead brain cells heheh

I agree with the mentioned crits but also I really like the background...the colors are a nice compliment.

The picture was about 1"x1.5" and no real sense of lighting. I didn't take the picture and basically he gave me a passport picture. So I had little to work with. Excuses, excuses. I know.

My head yesterday. :bash:

The weekend before. :beer:
