on the drawing board: nobody's business but the Turks

Even though it's in the lower right section of the picture, I'm working on the face first.  Faces are usually the keystone to my pieces and though I try to work from upper left to lower right to avoid smudging what I've already done, I need to get the face right to lock in the mood and storyline of the picture. 

I'm striving to give him that Turkish/Middle Eastern look.
