Actually he has but its all good tho
Well Q it aint a cutout...tha actual pic I used for reference doesnt even show his arms...actually in his reference pic he has hair and its braided and he's wearin a jacket. I gave him arms cuz I wanted him to look like he was actually posin for the portrait...and "cutting his arm" aint that bad of a thing from what teachers taught me LOL cuz I'm pretty sure from what I painted you can obviously tell its his left arm. I was always taught that if youre gonna cut someone when framing in 2D that anywhere inbetween from the neck to the waist is a good area. Off course if I was gonna sculpt him that would be bad LOL.
Its actually coo to think its just a filter cuz its basically a compliment. I feel my skills with using the wacom and being familiar with the program has really improved and is still improving.
This tutorial helped me alot:

My portraits are looking better and more "photo-real" because I changed up how I paint- I used to paint with bigger brushes on a smaller canvas(4x5) whereas now I got a macbook pro with more ram I paint on a larger canvas(16x20) with smaller strokes so I can add more detail. Same way if I were to actually use real paint and brushes which I can also do wit much skill - but with the digital medium I can paint as much as I want without having to worry bout makin a mess, buyin supplies and findin somewhere to stash the paintings...they all fit in my harddrive LOL
