This is when we start to get down to business! 
At this point, my main focus is on the face. I want to set the character in her face, and get the expression nailed down. At this point, I should say that this is the actual size of the image, and I do the detailing at 200% magnification.
As I work on the face, I also adjust all tones of the skin, and I always try to put as many of the colours as I have in the scene into the skin. (This includes the blues as well) Although I blend these into the skin, and they seem to ‘go away’, they still add a lively reflective quality to the skin.
