I’ve done about as much fiddling with this one as I can muster. Still not happy with the face, but it’s getting to the point where it is getting overworked.
The reference was a low res scan of a sun faded photo from the early 80’s, so it was incredibly difficult. On to bigger and hopefully better things. Acrylic on canvasC & C is A-OK!
