I also think I need to shrink his finger down, the exaggeration doesn't look correct and I may have excentuated the highlights a little too much. I fixed his eyes also, they were a little crooked looking. Turns out, as somone pointed out, it was the way my eyelids were angled and not the position of the pupils.
I also finished Grace Slick (finally):
This piece looks exciting, and even if it isn't my best piece, I like it just fine. I'll get a good scan of it sometime this week.
On a side note, I am thinking about participating in the Rochester Regional Zine and Craft fair. My friends Jamie and Ben are bringing Schmutzine to the fair and I was considering having a table of caricature prints and knitted things that I have not sold yet on Etsy.
Feedback??
Night Loves, hope you get more sleep than I do.

Absolutely! Go for it! I suspect you will have a popular table.
Regarding the jacket color... No one ever told me this at RIT, but the first thing they taught me at the illustration academy was to do a cut paper-esque thumbnail before painting, where you divide the drawing into its main shapes and fill each in with a value. Every important shape should either be light against dark, or vice versa; shapes that you want de-emphasized should have less contrast. Then tape the thumbnail on your easel and stick to the value structure. It's a HUGE help.
I definitely like the look of the darker jacket. It looks fancier. :)
I think I am going to stick with this lighter jacket and lighten up his face in certain flat areas. Trying out that value study Carly, Thanks so much for the advice!
