I spent yesterday detailing everything, including adding browns and some black to the foreground landscape. I used blue colored pencils in the hair, which proved a bit of a nuisance when fine dust from it drifted into the skin of the face. I was able to clear it off before it ruined anything, luckily. In the future, I may mask off the oil pastels when using pencils to avoid such troubles. That, or I need a little vacuum attachment for my pencils.
I waited until this morning to call it finished, just to be sure I haven’t missed anything. It’s available now here in the store.
