I have made some progress with the face and the outlines. After filling in the shadow of the eye like Cambria's, it kind of became clear how I need to go about this painting. Instead of focusing on an entire area, I needed to go by square inch and work very closely with thin layers as I go across the painting. I immediately found that it helped to start with my very dark shadows, and gradually apply the lighter colors on top. I am terrified to start the lips because I don't know how to do dark shadows and dark highlights together and am worried that it will ruin the whole piece but we shall see. Also, I am concerned that it doesn't look like me at all and will end up looking very dark, but I will try and work on it :).
