WIP Critique Young Minitures La Hire, Battle Of Patay

[Ineluki]

Hello.
Here's one of my ongoing works - Young's excellent La Hire bust.
I've always wanted to paint it.
I hope my efforts are worthy this amazing sculpture. Helmet 's not finished yet.

Nice work on the face. I think that the beard could use some more shading.

Thanks for comment Marc.
In reality the beard doesn't llo so dull, so I'm rather not going to improve it.
Actually, the longer I look at the pictures, the more I want to add some shadows to the cheeks :/
This work never ends

Very nicely done, like the weather beaten face,
