Today I worked on the flesh. I re-applied the masking around the skin areas, then moved from section to section, coloring with pencils then coating and blending with oil pastels. The way the outfit is in this piece, the sections are well-defined and numerous. This makes it easy to take breaks, but I still need to be sure I match the colors right in adjoining sections so it appears continuous.
I got everything covered, and have started the details with colored pencils. The body doesn’t need much, so it’s mostly the face and neck. A few more hours and it should be complete…
