David, great flesh tones... i really like the expression of the emperor you've capture with your painting technique.
I am sure you'll be very please when you finish this piece.

Absolutely marvelous job on those flesh tones !!

Absolutely masterful David.
Amazing realism in your brush strokes here.
Like many people, I never pay enough attention to hands. This example is a good lesson to me.
Cheers,
