Here's another look at Marilyn. I already started the shading of her skin, eyes, nose and lips. The hair also is being blocked in. I never do any real high-lights till the last stage of the portrait, I simply try to keep the white of the board as white as possible on the actual areas where there is a light. The hair will be "fluffed" with strands at the very end. Thanks for your emails and comments, I appreciate them very much.
