As I worked my way forward on Zelda’s body to her shoulders, I wanted to do her head next. Her ears are finished, which was my first day on her head. The next day of work would have been her eyes, which are the most critical part of any portrait. That’s such an important studio-day where I need to have total concentration and no interruptions. I usually plan my week’s schedule around that. But I’ve had so many meetings and appointments that were only available at certain times (right in the middle of my studio time — Grrrrr!) that it was hard to find a day when I didn’t have to split my time between the studio and other things. So I went ahead and started working on Zelda’s forelegs, which otherwise would have been the last part of her body I would do.
Her legs are finished now, as you can see, so I’ll be working on her face next.
