The face is much improved thanks to a solid day of focused work, although the ear still needs to be fixed up. I spent a lot of time around the mouth and eye, re-shaping the contours of the shadows to make them more accurate and to blend out some of the edges that I felt were too strong.
I hummed and hah’ed about painting the red hair against the red dress before committing to it because I felt a little nervous about having too much of these similar colours.Now it’s done I think they are different enough to each other to be comfortable and I like it. Once the glaze of Iron Oxide went over her hair I let some of it blend into the skin of her temple and the back of her neck. I added a white lace trim to the colour which I will glaze with a bit of a yellow to make it similar to the fabric around her stomach.
It’s time to work on the arms and hands.
