It's still gorgeous.

Very good and the hand looks as though it is going to work well.

I sympathise. In the class situation, we all take different times to complete the work, but the model is only there for a specific length of time. So we are left with half finished paintings and drawings. I usually finish on time, but still get caught out sometimes (example on the forum). Hope you find a way to resolve this, Stuart, but it is good work.
