More and more progress...

In spite of heavy business took some days of and spent one painting. Started with the second layer of the dress. Also dimmed the color of the baloon, I like striking pink but this color....

Herewith a detail of the dress and the wrinkles of it... Some parts might need a 3rd layer.

Preparing for the hair....

Today I started with repainting the underdrawing of the hair. Because I wasn't sure how to started I only indicated the hair in the original underpainting. Last drawing the hair ended up like a bundle of straw....Hopefully this will help me in creating more realistic hair.

Old Hair

New Hair

Although it looks that the har is almost overengineered I think it is okay for now. I will lose a lot of detail during the two or three layers glazing I need.

First layer of dress completed....

Today I finsihed the first layer of the dress, more work then expected.. and some layers to go. However the effect is as expected (even better...). Tomorrow I start detailing out the underpainting of the hair.
