Hi all,

I made some minor changes following the Ernest and John advices. As you can see I had tried to use more shadows in jacket and trousers and also another light in trousers. Also I made two sleeves in both arms.
I wait your comments.

Regards,

Rafa

Rafel,

He is looking nice. I think you are on the right track, just maybe a little more high highlights and few darker shadows.

Joe,

Thanks a lot for your kind words. Perhaps you are in right. Any idea about what is the better place for that darker shadow and highlights?

Hey Rafa,

No problem. You are doing a nice job and I think you have most of the highs and shadows in the right place. I think you just may need to darken them in the arm pit, crotch and fold of the elbows. You may have them in place and the pictures just may not show it. I think the highlights could be a little more on the front bill of the hat and tops of the highest fold, shoulders and top of arm. I hope this may help.

I did want to say that I liked the touch of hair in the front. This is a really nice touch. I look forward to seeing more of this one.

Joe

What do you think about the tree?. Somebody tell me is better to use a bush instead a tree for a better composition. Please, let me know your opinion.

Hey Rafa,
Your scene is looking great. I would use the tree over using the bush
