Well dang... I forgot to finish the eyes! This is what happens when I'm in a hurry and I forget to finish the checklist. Also when I forget I have a checklist. Gettin' old...


I spot the eyes with a sharpened toothpick and some strong magnification.



Thanks for comments all.

I know it is small, but it is a bust anyway.

Perhaps like all eyes, if you add:
1) a black spot at the centre of each eye to paint the pupil
2) (more difficult) a tiny white touch at the left side of each black spot to give life to the eyes

you will give lot's f life to the look...

Very nice work!
I think, that the most difficult to paint human face to render "human" expression!
That is the reason I do not paint larger busts, because I am not talented enough!
Anyway this polish gentleman is a hit - I like it also!

I like the unusual orientation of the light, facing slightly to the left, and below horizontal, giving the illumination in the dark of a white light on a table or from the floor, very original.
