Hi everyone! I'd like to apologize for being so late with this week's post! It's been a very hectic and rather emotional week and I was too exhausted to work on anything craft related. I've seen that some of you have been checking back every week and I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing so! <3 <3 It honestly means a lot!
So, I'm officially 98% done with my illustration, but there's still a little bit more to do until I can call it "finished." I still need to add white to parts of her face to give it more dimension (eyes, nose, lips etc) and also parts of her hair to accentuate the shine. The areas that were worked on with embroidery pushed up the bristol board, so I have to go back and lightly color in those areas to help hide the puckered areas. I'm extremely behind on Water due to all the emotional hits I've been taking these past two weeks, but at least I started working on her hair:

Right now I'm focusing on the base coat, but I plan on going back with white gauche to accentuate the shine. Unlike Earth, I decided to work on her hair first due to the similarities of the colors of her face and her hair. It's been quite a challenge and I'm not too happy with the result so far, but perhaps once the face is filled in, it'll look a little better.
I promise to post something a little bit more substantial next week! Once again, thank you so much for checking back!
