Hi again,

Ahhh, background! I see you have used colors similar to those in the deepest shadows, and that is good because it will help unify the figure and ground. I think you can go further in softening the edge of the hair on the right side of the picture plane, beginning under the highlight and going into the neck and shoulder. There in the shadow the contours of the figure as it turns into the shadow should meld softly into the background. Right now it still looks a bit "cut out" ont that side.

Can't wait to see what you do with the shirt.

Alex
