I was having a little browse through my complicated filing system and found that I’d forgotten to finish something that I had started at the beginning of September. I’d done screen caps so decided to actually finish it while I had some time. The last step was done today but the rest was all done on the 1st September. I’d originally just done it for a little bit of painting practice. 
The reference is a photo I took in May.
I started with the main structure and tried to get the lighting in the correct areas.
The next step was to try to define the main features of the face and concentrate on the left eye. (actually my right) The skin was also smoothed out a little.
Moved on to working on the other eye but as you might be able to see… there was something not quite right. I decided it was the lighting and the shape of the nose. Hair also got a little bit more shape on this step.
Fixed the lighting and nose. The left side of the nostril was too far over to the right and was rounded wrong. Also fixed slight shape problems with the lips and added final details such as eyelashes/hair/creases etc and drew in the edge of the blouse.
Hopefully it turned out alright? The final details took me about an hour.
Hope you like it!
