After the underpainting was done and all the ripples pressed out of the paper, I'm now working with colored pencil for the rest of the portrait.
This before-and-after picture shows what a difference colored pencil makes. All the details of the island and distant shoreline were added with colored pencils over the underpainting.
This is how the portrait looks now. I always love the way colored pencil brings a flat underpainting to life.
