Christine, I am a portrait artist and the original reconstruction bothered me a great deal. Here are 2 suggestions. Draw a rather straighter line from the prominence of his cheekbones down to a point in the lower jawbone, avoiding the slight cheek fat pad on his lower cheeks, that a thinner faced person doesnt have. This will give him the look of a truly thin faced person which he was. Also, Slightly add more white or sclera to the inside of his eyeballs giving him less of a cross-eyed appearance. Add a tiny bit more white to the inside of his right eye. Most people have just a tiny bit more white at the inside of one eye than the other. Gives a nice appearance. Play with these 2 options and show us the results. I thought the original reconstruction was far from complete. Carol D.
