Another Layer

I worked on this face in my facebook, adding some fleshy color and another layer to her hair with colored pencils.  I am not sure I  like but better than just the sketch.  I like this as it is just mostly playing to see what happens and I learn a bit about how to do it better.

I rather like the misty look of the background and her dress.  I am trying to decide if I should bring out the poem by retracing it or not, and if I should do something to enhancre the background.

Hi Carol-I like the color you've added to her face.

Oh, she's lovely. With the added layers, it looks like she's coming to life before our eyes.
Can't wait to see more; you paint faces really well!
