Thanks for the comments Garth. Like you, I don't think posting a reference would be good for anything except seeing if the likeness is there (it is, this is my middle child, I think I could draw him with my eyes closed) To post the reference, would lead to all sorts of things that didn't "match" because, I didn't paint from it. It concerns me that you think that paper is blue. That paper is a brownish earthy green, if you are seeing it as blue then I wonder what the rest is looking like. Of course, I would like to think that as things get translated differently from monitor to monitor, that it all adjusts accordingly.

I don't really know what I am asking for here, it just doesn't look finished to me, but I can't put my finger on what I am supposed to do next. However, I have noticed that when I paint my own children, I never feel like they look finished. Maybe it is because I know them a little TOO WELL?
