Description My attempt at a tribute portrait of Henchman 24 from the fantastic show The Venture Bros.

I'm rather unpracticed with shading, and I didn't use any references for this (I just blended the graphite randomly until it sorta-kinda looked right, lol). So if there's anyone reading this that is more practiced with simulating light & shadow (or just has a sharp eye for such), please point any glaring mistakes out to me. I'm sure there's plenty, and it's the only way I'll learn ; (And any suggestions as how to fix said glaring mistakes would be a plus as well ).

*SPOILER*
So, I've been watching the Season 3 DVD recently, and it occurred to me that I've still been in a state of denial about this character's death since the episode first aired on AS. I just couldn't help but hold out hope that it wasn't him; I mean, he *does* look exactly like all the other henchmen (aside from 21) after all. Speaking of which, it'll be interesting to see how 21 handles this, or even Dean for that matter...24 clone-slug plz? :3
*END SPOILER*

The Venture Bros. is copyright Cartoon Network/Adult Swim. Also probably Astrobase Go! and World Leaders....basically, the character doesn't belong to me, folks.

I looks great. Considering the low contrast of it it looks alright to me. Dunno how it would appear if you darkened it more, though. Good job on the face making it look realistic.

I meant, "It looks great," but who am I kidding, I look great, too. Loolooloo

Thank you! So do you think I should darken it up a little more, or leave it alone? I know the lack of contrast between the bridge of the nose and the cheek behind it is getting to me a little...

And yes...yes you do.

Darkening it in photoshop with either levels, autocolor(fixes coloring to what the real color should be), or brightness/contrast works.
