I cannot draw this good, therefore you are clicked.

# In many ways I quite like the partially completed look of it.
Since the drawing is fairly photorealsitic the bits that aren't shaded give an interesting contrast.

In conclusion: NICE; STOP THERE

# Yeah but could I
sell it like that?

Would someone buy it half-finished?

I wouldn't want to appear lazy y'see.

Though I am........a bit....

# Yeah there'll be legions of angle-in-are-harts fans who'd buy the finished thing
Fair enough. At least you'll still have a scan of this version.

# Nah don't get me wrong I see the angle you're coming from,
I personally think it'd look cool like that, but my OCD won't let me leave it,

If it sold as a partial project don't get me wrong i'dd sell the fuck out of it, I guess I just havn't tried yet.........

# I think it is absolutely perfect as it is.
And you cannot improve on perfection. What turns an excellent artwork into a brilliant artwork is knowing when to stop and while I appreciate the effects of OCD making it difficult now is the time to put this one aside and start on the next one and the urge to "complete" it will fade in time.

# Yes to the first question
No to the second - the trick there is to say that it IS finished, of course.

# Draw from reference
upside down.

Focus on the little shapes the lighting forms on a photo.

Draw in small pieces, like 1inch squares.

Your eyes lie to you when you try and replicate something, doing it upside down stops your eyes from drawing what you think you SHOULD see, and simply what is there.

# Ah, interesting technique!
I'll have to give that a shot, thank you very much :)

# Ooh, and never look at the thing until you've done quite an recognisable area,
for instance i didn't look at this until I had finished the eyes and nose.

And don't try and get the shading just right. Start with the blackest areas first, cuz, y'know, black is black, but build up the layers of shading, using little shapes i mentioned, and build it up until it appears too dark.

Than tickle it with an eraser and smudge it gently to lighten it up a bit.
