With this second step, I've opted for a more stylized approach, separating the hair from the face to create a certain tension...
Because I want to keep intact the "out of focus" look, I think I will rely primarily on brush marks for textural effects... and see where this will lead me. This painting could be the beginning of a sub series using soot to really convey a smoke effect that goes in line with "Smoke and mirrors", the name for the main series I'm working on.

I love this--It's very classy!!
Amber, you are right about this one. In the Chinese black ink style, less is more. I like this version better than the final one!
