Finished now. I've added a bit of red blush (a very thin Blood Red) to her cheeks stroked form the outside of the blushed area inward. That way, the heavier concentrations of color are applied in the center and feather out at the edges. A slightly pink (an equally thin Fire Red that is a bit lighter - and slightly pinker - than Blood Red) eye shadow was added to the upper eyelids brushing from the outer lid in toward the nose.
The highlights were bumped up on the nose (more on the nose tip), chin, the upper portions of the breasts, the left hip area, the left side of her belly, and the hands and thumbs (again, all as viewed).
I forgot to mention the base... I run across many flats that have some degree of a ground depiction, whether plants, dirt, or rock. Many, it seems, are a basic pour plug that also functions as a stand. This piece falls in the category of the latter. If nothing else, it makes it easier to paint. Go with black, match it to your background, or paint it 'something'. I painted the upper flange of the base a dark green (any will do), followed by a medium green applied in a series of vertical, near vertical, and sometimes crossing strokes. These extended form the top of the flange down in the flared section at the bottom. This was followed by a lighter green applied in a similar manner, but stroking from somewhere in the lower half of the flange and going upward off the edge. What you see is neatly cropped grass. It took about three minutes. The lower section was painted Basic Dirt, irregularly stroking from the grass downward, then Muddy Soil applied the same way but started raggedly along the bottom of the Basic Dirt. This way, everything has bit natural(ish) look to it - there are no straight lines in nature. Or, so I'm told...
That's it!. Hope you all enjoyed it.
