Well it's back to oils tonight. What an improvement! The biggest thing I did was move the eyes down about an inch. Sound like a lot? It really is. But that's what was wrong. Now that the eyes have moved, it's started to look more like the actor and I'm not horribly embarrassed by it.
Although I'm well aware that oils are opaque and the layering must be strategic, I can't seem to break my acrylic habits. I've had to paint over a lot. Ugh. Also, the picture I have to go off of is complete dung. I can't find this particular scene online to reference for better detail. So there's more guesswork than I'd like to admit.
It's starting to take shape though so I won't complain too much. I will trudge onward.
