.....Melanie.......

OK, so here I am working on "Melanie" again....She's getting there and starting to look more real. BUT,........This is hard. I need to add the color to her, the pinks. She's just so cute!!! I need to do her makeup and finish the mouth. Then I'll go in and do the loose strands of hair.

My camera fogged up a bit when I took this pic....I went outside for natural light. But, I think yall get the idea......at least I hope so!!!!!:)

I talk to her the whole time I'm working on her. I do feel that she is close by and helping me.

Melanie......

I am still working on this....I just get so frustrated....I'm using like 15 different pics of her to do this. I start...Nothing looks right, so I put it away. Not really away...I put her on my easel, then I can look at her everytime I walk thru the house. I've been trying today and feel MUCH closer. It's not like a regular portrait...I'm SO feeling pressure for this one. I WILL get it right, and I will post it once I'm done!! Thanks for hangin' in there w/ me for this.....
