As an amateur portrait painter myself, I have to agree with Nathalie that the proportion and symmetry of your figure is a bit of a problem. If you are aiming for realism in your work, well...this isn't it. If you are trying to make more of an abstract work of your subject ( and let the viewers eye make it as realistic as they want), than this might do it. But, I'm sorry to say, for me it doesn't.

Original Post: Looking more for enthusiastic suggestions rather than critique

Because it's not finished, and I'm not a portrait artist, this piece is touch&go. A couple of friends asked for their portrait - or their dog's. I should have gone with the dog. But I love a challenge - that I think I can accomplish. So here's the acrylic underpainting - that I like a good deal.
