Loose or Sloppy?

Sherrod sketch 1

Above: Ran out of ideas on fixing the first one and so started on a smaller piece. It still needs work.

Below : Looks like I didnt manage to make the head bigger even though I thought I had. Thinking too about ways to improve on the background.

For the background I would bring some of the colours from the figure into the background e.g. burnt sienna and blue, also move a bit of the blue into the hair for cohesiveness, move the background easel and canvas away from its central and vertical position (even get rid of it altogether) and lose the sharp edges of those background objects. They need only be suggestions of studio furniture. The figure itself is the thing and I like it.
