Underpainting has been added to the top lip and the nose shadow adjusted. I am quite happy with the progress. Whilst a face has a basic symmetry, no face is exactly symmetrical. When I look at myself in a photograph I always feel that is doesn't look exactly like how I see myself. This is because i am used to seeing myself in a mirror which is, obviously, a mirror image. The sides of my face are reversed in a mirror image, which accounts for the different appearance to that in the photograph. The photographic image is the one that other people see - scary!

This really does look like Christopher when he is totally engrossed. I love the smooth brushstrokes on the skin and the seamless blending of tones, particularly around the nose area.
