Right now, I'm trying to learn the basics so I have been using several drawings and books and just "fred-handing" it. I attempted to use a picture of my wife as a reference for doing the face in terms of placement and general shape though she says it looks nothing like her!
I'm really not doing things in the right order...I'm trying to learn to draw eyes so that's typically where I start and then I plop them onto a canvas with a copy and paste and start drawing around them. However, that's probably not the best way to start.
I've also been using several of Lee Hammond's drawing books as reference for learning to draw the facial features...

Looking good Jack. I like the nose in the previous one better though. The shading is great in this one; I just don't think you would see the nostrils that you are showing unless the nose has a severe upturn. The warm tones look great and I like the hair in this portrait. It is a lot softer and more natural now. The next step is to work on the eyebrows and make them look a bit more natural, perhaps by adding subtle shades of color. Keep up the great work!

OK T...
Took your suggestions to heart...Didn't get to the eyebrows though. Those gray blobs are just placeholders...
Here's the latest.

Jack,
The nose looks a lot better. Now you need try the eyebrows. So what brush/technique did you use to paint the skin and create such a smooth blending?

In Painter, I use the airbrush at low opacity, the liquid->Just Add Water brush at 0 resat for blend or 25%-50% to blend and color.
Regarding the next step...I need to re-do the lips/teeth, re-restructure the lower jaw/chin, then onto the brows... I would really like to get better at blending...I've been searching google for digital airbrush techniques...
Not sure what tool I prefer yet (painter vs photoshop)...
I just did this hair in painter 7...
