Here are the final steps.

Step 62:
I worked on his shirts paying more attention to folds and detail, adding dark blues and red to areas in deep shadow.

Step 63:
Once I defined better his shirts, I went back to his neck to soften and blend it better, giving it a smoother texture. I also worked on his forehead, the top of his head, nose, cheeks and hair.

Step 64:
Here is the completion of the portrait. Notice the addition of color and definition of details on his face and shirt.

Step 64:
Close up of his face.

I hope you have enjoyed this work in progress.
