final with hair darkened

I've darkened the hair on the left a bit. I've darkened the two beauty marks and lightened the shading on the right cheek.

Finished

status 2

Here I continue to make progress on the hair, but not done yet. I still have to do the neck and shoulders and darkening of tones.

Click to enlarge. I've made alot of progress in the last two days. The face is almost done, just fine tuning and darkening of tones. I've gotten alot done on half the hair, but needs much more layering to darken the tones. Surprisingly, I find that all those curls are much easier than straight hair.
