That is looking so great! I tell you one thing he does not look like a man to cross, Beale.

I just took a look at it next to the original (cuz something was bothering me...) and I figured out what it is, so I'll make some adjustments... basically he kinda has a "deer-in-the-headlights" look now, as opposed to the look in the photo (just need to darken some things...)

I wanted to say something, Robert, but didn't want anyone to think I was being critical or saying that it wasn't good. He sorta looks sad, instead of determined or like he's concentrating... I'm sure you'll get it.

What's throwing me off on this one is that I normally work from dark to light, and I'm sorta reversing that here... I think once I darken his eyebrows and his general eye area it will look a bit more Sherman-y

I did some quick Photoshop adjustments to my last scan - let me know if you think I was correct in my assumption...

And, never feel hesitant about letting me know something - I welcome all of your opinions!
