Final lesson

Today was the final day we had for working on our paintings. First I worked on the toning of the skin on the right side. I was a bit concerned as it looked somewhat lifeless, and I re-painted the skin many times. Finally I managed to find a tone that wasn't too bad, and decided to leave it at that before I messed it up again. Then I went on to the eyes. I found it very challenging to replicate my eye colour, which I found out was quite complicated, but I thought they turned out quite well. I then went on to the eye-brows. I wasn't really satisfied with the right side, but it had already dried a bit by the time I tried to get it off, so I decided it was best to let it be the way it was. Finally I used brown pastels to make some music notes in the left background (not on the image) which I thought gave a nice finishing touch.
