blending

I decided that blending the hair would help & it does, no question. I have these blending stumps & have used them for graphite, conté & charcoal but never oil pastels. It certainly softens & the tooth of the paper isn't so obvious.
Also, I added yellow to my face, fixed my nose, mouth, shape of the right side of my cheek & added a bit to the shirt I'm wearing. So all that's really left is background if I chose to do it.

The photo again for reference

Where I finished off yesterday

Where I am at now (again this is scanned so the full sheet is not shown)

Definitely better than yesterday although I do look as though I am in the sunshine! (The nose in particular is much better.)
Let's see how it goes from here (unless I leave it alone).
