Outstanding job on the face. I think you might want to soften the beard a bit to match the realism you've achieved with the flesh. Really top notch painting. I too would like to know how you did it.
Really beautiful skin tones--there is a warmth here that really comes through--very life-like. The treatment on the beard hair is very well done, too. Glad you decided to join us--can't wait to see the next stage...
