This painting actually proved to be much harder than Anaiya's piece. I began with a wayy too dark underpainting and therefore the skin color became muddled very quickly, so I scraped off the underpainting completely and began again. Also, the shadows in this face were much deeper than Anaiya's and due to the older face there were simply more lines to paint. The most tricky challenge was the headscarf of the sari. Since it is see through, I had to not only apply proper lines of pink, but I had to add back in the colors of her face and throat in order for it to look real. I think I didn't do a great job on the right side of the sari's headscarf, but I tried really hard on the left section. After this piece was complete, I actually went back and added a drop shadow in both pieces in order to show a more dynamic piece.
