Here's Luke after working for 3 hours on him yesterday.
I did change some pieces under his right eye (photo on the right). The shadowing is a bit better but not as smooth as the original. (No, the color of cheek did not change between the middle and the right versions - just the time of day and angle in which I took the photo.)
NT (Nancie Mills Pipgras) sent an email to comment on the progess of Luke & the blog. She made a comment regarding a portrait she did which is worth repeating here:
... redoing the shading under the eye actually kind of changed the shape of the eye for me into the more rounded of the original. Know what I mean? It's incredible how one element impacts another. They do not stand alone, do they?
And that's why cutting pieces to fit exactly for one element just won't make the difference you think it's going to.
