Five Minutes To Midnight

Practice on light and shadows, plus a smidge of cityscaping. I wanted to see if I understood enough about faces to be able to shade according to a light source different from the one in the photo reference. Feeling a bit mixed about the end result. I like the shading -- I think I did a pretty good job, but the rest of the painting -- meh.

Anyway, Happy New Year.
