Final paint details

Once I added a tiny bit of yellow ochre to the iris just around the edge of the pupils and added the white highlights to her eyes, I liked them a bit more. I also added some white lines to the lips to add definition, and after this had a minute or so to dry, I went back over the white with more of the brick red watercolor to blend the color. Once the final painted details were done, it was time to blush the face. I ground a mixture of pink and fleshtone pastel and mixed them to create blush, which I dabbed a cotton swab into, tapping the excess powder off onto the back of my hand before swabbing her cheeks, chin, hairline, and her nose with it to add color and definition.
