The middle child

Hi Terri,

I didn't want too much time to go by before I thanked you for taking time to look at this. I did make some changes based on your advise. I softened the eyelashes a little and his mouth some although I'm not sure how much it shows in the updated version below. I will remember all your advise about edges when I start my next portrait.

You were right about the larger than life size. My goal for this portrait was to really figure out mixing colors and how to work the brushes. I find it a little easier to work large so I made it a little bigger to give myself a better chance of success. The next portrait I have planned is the correct size and I can't wait to start it!

Thank you again for your advise and time. I'm posting the final one below. I hope the changes I made will show.

Thank you,
Julie

Your changes made a difference Julie. He looks much more integrated, now. Did you also warm up the background and his hair? (Sometimes just the lighting when you take a photo can make colors look different,) I like the warmer tones there.
