Very nice work but I don't know if it's the size of the picture (maybe a bit too big) but some of the high lights look a bit rough, the cloth especially and the skin to a lesser degree. Some of the high lghts on the black look too extreme, not blended 'enough' from the dark to the light. Fear not, JPP, this is a stage on the painting journey that everyone (who pushes themselves) goes through. You'll look back in future and realise how much you've developed.
