And here is a part separation, first one I did, so I guess this was another project I learned something new:



And a few refs I used:

Not sure about the hair...just simple hair all put backward and tucked below the hat...

Now, if I extend shoulders, I should also extend the chest (as the border of the chest is also a bit stylized - and entire pocket should be visible), but I like that heart-shaped siluete, to me it looks more femine, and I think there is just enough volume and detail to recognize the subject. Off course I might be completely wrong

A very interesting and unusual subject. Well done.

Personally, I disagree. I think the lower section of the lapel is too wide and is making the torso area look too small.

Cheers,
Andrew

You got the point there, it should be more narrow.

narrowed the collar, but left the border of the pockets to be still somewhat stylized...

Excellent progress so far. I'm looking forward to seeing arms and tunic!

Thanks, but I did not plan to develop this further, this is just a small simple bust...

....with an ample bust!
