Portrait Tonal Study #2

This work is a 1 hour study looking at tone, and depth trying to catch the shadows and tonal difference on a face.

The work has a neon pink underpainting then the pink background and skin tones have been painted on. The work has unpainted areas (this is part of my signature style) the sides are underpainted but been left mainly unpainted from top colours.
