That's shaping up real well...... I know it's in progress but here goes.
1. Be brave with the shading, I think you could afford to 'hollow' out the cheeks, neckline under the jaw and from the bridge of the nose and along under the eyes.
2. Put a tiny, and I mean tiny, dot of any crimson oil paint just under the tip of the nose and work it to give a very very very light redness to the 'bulb' of the nose. Makes a huge difference so long as you don't overdo it. Doing it as a wet on dry stain means that you can always wipe it off if you don't like it.
3. A bit darker round the edge of the iris.
Wyatt Earp the Rick Grimes of Tombstone ...... c'mon the zombies

Seriously getting there fast now mate.

Thanks Del will try that out, what would you suggest as the best way to hollow out the cheeks a dab of paynes grey ala stubble?
Steve

Definitely not Paynes Grey, tendency to risk ending up with a grubby look.
Suggest Madder Brown initially mixed with your base flesh mix and then gradually add more as you get to the deeper shaded areas. Finally add a tiny amount of Indigo to your final flesh mix and work a miniscule dot of this to the deepest areas carefully blending into the shaded area.

Looking good so far and looking forward to seeing more.

Many thanks Del, thank you Phil
Steve

As per Del's advice worked on the face, I may have overdone the red nose, but will see how it settles down over time. Hat is just popped on for effect. In your own time go on.
Steve

Looking better

Lookin good Helm, catching the facial features just right.

Cheers Steve and Steve I always struggle with shadows and highlights
