Started the little bit of hair behind the neck, and I'm still messing around with the eye.  As soon as I finish that I will quickly sharpen up the flower and ear ring. After that I should be done and ready to move on to color.  Here is hoping it comes out right.              Fingers Crossed                            Jefferson.    So this is about an hours worth of work this morning.  Played with the fore head and lower jaw a little.

I started to mess with the eye again when I shouldn't have.  I feel like I need to shrink it a little. Tried to smooth things out a little, and I reworked the mouth.  Still feel like I need to work on the forehead more, but that will have to wait until after work today.    About an hour spent on this.

All I did was darken up the contrast on the flower and ear ring, so that they will pop more.  I also flipped the canvas to see any potential problem spots. After doing so I noticed my pic looked to hard.  To manly so I have to really soften up some of these edges here to get a more female quality.  All I did was darken up the contrast on the flower and ear ring, so that they will pop more.  I also flipped the canvas to see any potential problem spots.
