Aug 11th: Portrait in Oil Paint

Today I focused on refining the facial features of my painting.  This was especially true for the eyes.  I spent most of my painting time making the eyes even, adding highlights to face and deepening shadows.

With the eyeglasses, I want to imply lenses rather than draw a hard edge around them.  I really don't want any hard lines in this drawing at all.  I think that with the nature of oils, it'll be best to leave things with blurry or soft edges.  

Here you can see that the eyes are even, but the pupils are off.  In dire need of better shading and what's up with his lips?  His hair will be messed up until the very end since I'm doing the background last.  Many more details are needed as well as more layering on the skin.   Every day this looks more and more like my papa.  I think that once I get the face done, Everything else will go quickly.
