Cropped image of a work in progress. Acrylic on canvas.

But did u shoot the photo straight on?
The eyes seems alittle not aligned here.

Not a biggy - I always have this problem too with straight on faces. I think as long as the feel and intent is right- we have some artistic license to "humanise" them.

Looking fwd to seeing the whole painting! Your enthusiasm is amazing! We must try to catch up :D; 9:39 am

The unevenness of the eyes stands out to me immediately but i seriously thought it was deliberate lor :D why not let let it be and accept that it's an artistic statement of your style? Beauty lies in imperfection :D

nice rendering! Very striking yellow heh; 6:50 pm
