David, imposing flesh tones!!! I like one thing, this bust breaths of one painting style. I love the shading of all parts, it is smooth, elegant and gentle. This is how top class figure painters work. Thanks for posting all the progress, it is interesting how this come to life.
Best regards and happy painting.
