Description Ā I wasn't quite sure if I should have left her lips white, or filled them in. Let me know what you think.

Trying to expand my artwork subjects--both the model and the lighting were breathtaking.

I think just a little blue color in the lips would be nice.

The blankness of the lips distracts me; I would have added a little of the same color(s) of the shadows on the whites of her eyes to give the lips a little more dimension. The reflective light on her cheekbones is appealing.

Thanks for the advice. I may take you up on it. That sounds like a nice compromise between straight up white and full color

great work! with the lips left white it gives her an astonished look... it would be interesting to see also a version with darker lips.

I agree. Part of me wants to do another version just to get the chance to experiment with the lips.Ā  and thanks.
