You've made quite some progress so far, it looks great although it's not finished :D

I think it's awesome to see the steps along the way, and it builds the anticipation of the finished mural :D

Thank you :-) Dru had to help me a bit yesterday, i was tired and in a color vortex, i had the value of the neck color an inch too dark and both hue and saturation was a bit off too and my tired brains told me to get help so that i wouldn't mess it up :-)

So now i started again, the value is now as i want it to be, now i am going to make saturation and hue adjustments :-)

I had to take a break yesterday, i could just feel that it was not a "Painting-mood" i was in, so better leave it, otherwise i will just ruin it and hurry to get it done, and don't want that :-)

Yeah the eyes, i thought so, Dru has a Great way to paint portraits, and furthermore, he has a fantastic ability to instruct students too :-)

I post this picture to show that you don't have to give up because you made a BIG mistake, never give up, work with the mistake and get to know WHY it's there. This is one of my "i'll-throw-it-away-i-give-up" moments!!!

But it will all be good if you try to understand WHY, then you will know WHAT to do to fix it! :-)

I've been told never to give up!!!
