Bath - finished


The hair was looking rather unnatural I thought, so I painted a more flowing curve on the left side, and pushed out the hair on the right side too. Before, it looked like there was an invisible band holding the hair which gave a slightly tight and claustrophobic feeling. It also looked a bit like a worm. I've added highlights to show the hair twisting on it's way down the back. Quite hard to see here but much better on the close ups on my site.

Changing the hair was a great idea, you've improved the whole painting 110%!
