I feel like I'm trapped in an endless cycle of shading, painting over it because it looks bad and shading again. That's all I've done for 3 days. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried diluting the paint, adding different color combinations, smudging and blending. The result is still the same. His face looks dirty.
When I try to blend it, the shading gets too light and I have to add more. And back to the same problem of the dirty face. I'm fighting the compulsion to throw the painting across the room.
I did lengthen the lips. I don't know how good it looks now, but I changed them. And worked on the collar area. But... ugh. I should just work on the uniform and leave the face til later.
