Hi Deborah,

You're doing a fantastic job on him. He's got a great face.

I'm struggling with one, he's not half as nice as yours.

Thanks for all the nice replies. This is the first time I have attempted a real face. A bit tricky but I do like the challenge. I will keep posting as I go along. Hopefully I don't screw him up when I attempt to paint him.
