I have continued with the jacket texture and blocked in the under-paint to the zip and studs. Some texture has also been added to the collar of the jacket. I want the final texture on the collar to be highlighted with white with strands of the lambswool contrasting with the darker areas of the jacket.
I have added another layer to the background behind the face giving it a bluish hue but I am unsure at this stage if I like the this hue or if I prefer a slightly more green-blue one similar to the book cover.
It may not be noticeable, but I also took a few millimetres off the face profile. I may also need to take more off in the future, before I finish the work.
