WIP : portrait

[sanpaiya]

some serious help needed.. btw this is my first post on CA :yayca: and first serious work on painter.. Mainly with wet and dry oil brushes.. and i used the pastels for the beard.. and i have a problem with the brushes.. when ever i reduce the size of the brush to paint tiny details it starts to act weird.. it does not paint.. or blend properly ..
need crits.. esp with the hair and beard..
worked from a photograph as reference.. one of the awesome photographs off Mr.Xavier Zimbardo's India Holy Song...

I think it's looking pretty good. I especially like the sketchy lines in the beard area.
I'm not that great at Painter so I don't have any technical advice for you, tho.

I'd like to see the hair handled more like you did the beard--more brushy and less blurry.
