So this step was painted about a week ago, I roughed in the flesh tones and some of the darks.
Then I contrasted the darks with some bright highlights. I just work back and forth until it looks right to me.
Then it sat for about a week. Today I finally felt patient enough to complete the last bit of detail work. It only took a couple hours, I kinda feel bad for putting it off so long.
I'm pretty happy with the way this piece turned out. I find my art is quite different when I work directly from reference.

WOW! Fantastic! Those final few steps make a huge difference. I can relate to what you mean when you say you are "in the right mood." Sometimes a work needs some time, and the wait certainly paid off.
Yeah, the final product looks great. The skin tones on the forehead are especially great. And I like how her torso is sort of spilling out of her top (for lack of a more gentlemanly phrase). It looks both eerily realistic and cartoony and fun at the same time.
Wow! Everything seems to pop out in the right places. There is a great sense of depth with the giraffes coming forth without surpassing Katie in the foreground.
