Chris ,
forgive me for this post, but I have been looking at your wonderful rendition of this bust for the past few days and one item has come to light for me. I hope you don't mind me saying this, it could be the pictures but here it is, I think the blond hair, although a nice color looks like it could use some more depth. I think if you had added some darker shadows to it, especially around the roots at the face it would frame up the beautiful flesh tones even better. It appears to be all the same blond tone all the way around to the back even into the hair. I think just a hint more shadow tones the in the hair/facial hair would take this bust to notches unknown! Thanks for putting up with my rant! Let the chastising begin!
