"Britney (WIP)"

I am doing Britneys hair now, somebody asked me about it so I will put here some hairwips.

This kind of hair is difficult and takes time, so many hairs messing around. Ive done about 2 long hair before, so this is a new scene to me also.

So far everything ok, just making the base for tones and main hairlines. Hairtime 2hours 20minutes to be exact.

If theres any suggestion/critique let me know. I will update this about in next 3hours.

Outstanding work. The hair looks great so far. You may have said this earlier in the previous post, but how large is the piece?

Looks great as usual. Maybe in her chin is something unbritney-like?

JL thanks. Yep I havent done chin yet. Heres the latest update. Ive been drawing all night long, hope I get this ready in an hour before dawn.

What do you think, does this round bottom look ok to you? I cant imagine any other solution. Please give your comment soon, I am finishing it already...

Next thing is to add all the rest details to the hair and face, find some highlites everywhere and use blu-tack a bit...

Little longer hair would look better and then fade it off. I think it cuts now too sharply.

Jim, I am also completely satisfied so far, especially to the contrast. Man, its really different thing to draw from a GOOD reference after all those shitty ones.

JukkaL, I know that would be the best way to do the hair , but I am really stuck with these oddly bahaving hairs, so I am gonna cut em off, as well as I can, not so muddy as seen here.

Actually I know theres still lots of things to improve, Iam taking my time in the next few days to complete this, now I have time no more. I still have to add thousands of details, refine eyelashes and bring the face in focus in some areas. I will post it when its ready

PS. In the ref pic Britney really stands in the deep snowbank, thats why I have to draw it this way
