thanks for the cnc! And honestly, thats what I felt too, but I wasn't sure since I'm still new to this, so just making sure I'm not making a newbie decision.
As for the depth, maybe I could sharpen the nose so that it seems closer somehow? That would bring out the depth, I think.
I'm not really sure about your comment on the blues in the mask though. I mean, wouldn't that color throw off the rest of the colors? Like it's not supposed to be there... I'll give it a try anyways.
thanks! I often have troubles with blending so I decided to work on it a lot more in this one. I'll be sure to continue with this level in my next sig. thanks again!
