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.

Finished and scanned

Click to enlarge. Here's a scan of the finished portrait. Feels good to be done!

background shaded

I added more shading to the background and my signature. Just waiting for approval before I scan it.

Almost done

Here are both subjects together. I'm about done now. Just a bit more shading in the background and any requested changes if any.

status subject 2

Click to enlarge. Finally a status for subject 2. R.S. any changes? I'll work on finishing both necks and collar next.

small adjustments

Here I've made some small adjustments to the right eye and shading. Still fine tuning. I slightly raised the eye up just a hair and lightened the crease.
