Using the same technique I have chosen to refine my skills and attempt another portrait (again from observation of a magazine image). I am astonish I was able to achieve the final image to the success I have with such basic starter marks. A really strong turning point in
this image was drawing in the first eye . The use of the soft brush and then a hard brush on the pupil with an addition of light spots, added with the rubber, has really enabled me to achieve something realistic. Though the lips are not as successful as the shading is not right, the lighting of the forehead and nose gives the image great depth. The hair is better but I still retain the obviously drawn ‘digital’ line. Perhaps I need to embrace the digital marks 
the computer makes and celebrate that it does work well with the rest of the image even though it does not achieve a ‘realistic’ look. I still have not overcome my inability to colour the portraits effectively. The next challenge a waits.
