Here I am adding more detail but maintaining my light and dark passages. I start to clean up the edges of the hair slightly.
I am adding some color into the shadow side of the hair while trying to keep the value relationships compatible. In other words, I try not to get any lights into the darks or any darks into the lights.
Adding more detail. I am beginning to add reflected light into the darks of the hair. Still, trying to not paint individual hairs. I forgot to mention that for the majority of my work, I have my opacity brush setting between 15% and 35%.
Still adding more detail. I'm reestablishing some of the darks and lightening the highlights. I have also added more reflected light into the left side of the hair. It is nothing more than some of the background color mixed with the hair colors.
More color and refining some of the secondary shapes within the hair.
I am really pretty much finished at this point. I am not really happy with the results and feel that I have worried a little to much about detail. This took about half an hour to complete. I do usually try to clean things up a little more.
