Taking Time Making Improvements

 Finally finished!  It came out somewhat better than expected.  I applied some techniques that really made him a bit more lively, skin-tone wise.



Otherwise, I'm doing a bit better when it comes to workflow with respect to shading, lighting, and some coloration.  However, I need to work on thumbnailing and staging my sketches a bit better on some of my works in progress that I can still rescue from bad composition.  In the meantime, I do want to finish some works I started last year to at least polish them by the end of the year, if not this month.  Perhaps, they can become some commission examples like this one.
