The jagged strip of white on the sleeve in step 5 wasn't terribly descriptive, so I added more light strokes to indicate the turn of the sleeve. I also painted in more of the dark sweater over the initial tone in back of the arm and brought it around the front of the shoulder/sleeve. The background needed a smidge of softening around the face - so that ancillary contrast didn't distract from the face.

Beautifully done portrait.
