Progress

My progress in just about a year. There was a girl on another website that saw the first picture and told me that it was no where near what he looked like and that I shouldn't even attempt/practice realism at all. I'm really glad I didn't listen to her! I still have a long way to go, though I'm happy with the improvements I have made in a year.
