Jon Snow - Painting: Reflections

A few comments, if I may. . . 

Painting the face off the figure is definitely the way to go. . . BUT, I would not try to finish it until it is [permanently] attached to the torso. The all-black costume is ultra-high contrast to the overall pale fleshtone, and the latter must be moderated en suite. Off the figure, the complexion looked too ruddy; but once attached, it was just about right. Yet another reason why glazing was the optimal technique!
