Lips - Now the Lips, as per always start with a flat colour, this time I painted the lips with a pink, and started drawing in the lines for the corners of the mouth and between the lips. To define the form.

Face lightings - Taking into considerations of the final lightings, I painted the face with a yellow shade for the warm light on the left side of the face, and a blue highlight on the right side of the face due to the moon light. Always try to keep the lights constant throughout the picture.

Cloths - Then I started painting the flat colours for the cloths and hair. First fill in the base colour of the blouse then I drew in some lines to help me identify the folds of the fabric.

9

Cloths - Add in the lights and shadows as per previous examples, for the blouse, using the same method I painted the transluscent blue 'sari', on the separate layer.

As you can see as I paint I have new ideas for the costumes. I added a sash quite like the Indian 'Sari'.
