A little more progress today. I'm getting where I'm pretty happy with the painting overall now. A few nitpick spots and I'll call it done.

I darkened his beak to increase the contrast between the lightened background and his beak. Now my eye goes to the beak first.

I painted more detail in the bread roll and started adding detail to the people and the spoon in the bowl.
Refining the dreadlocks and the knife a little more. I tried making the dreadlocks into snakes like on Medusa but didn't like it and painted them back the way they were. They still suggest snakes in a more subtle way.
