A little farther along on Matsumoto.

It doesn't look significantly farther along, because I've been doing basic housekeeping on it, adjusting sizes and things, before I get so far along that I can't fix them. So in order to make her head look like it actually belongs to her and is not all MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON YAY, I shrank it and moved it a little - the neck was way too long. That's why you see sketch lines on the head and not the rest of the pic - I had to cut them out of the sketch and paste them above the head to get them to move and shrink at the same rates. :D
Also spent a long time working on her neck and chest so they looked more like a living human being and not a marble column. Once I get the shading on the hand right, I'll probably drop all the layers together, work the sketch lines into the painting, and continue refining from there, all on one layer.
