Portrait in Colored pencil

Playing with my colored pencils again....I've had this ref saved on my computer for a while, I just love the photo. The light in it is wonderful, and I was planning on doing this in soft pastels as part of the series of musicians. But I changed my mind, and wanted to add a bit of skin colors to it, but don't want to overdo the colors in it, just let the light play and add life to it. At this point I've worked on the face, but I've left it for a while as I need to leave it in order to see the shapes and lines again. There's still tooth left in the paper to do necessary changes to get the likeness. Already I can see some fixing needed to the nose and mouth, and I need to adjust some shades above the eyes.

I've just put down some base colors to the hands and hair, and started to suggest the guitar - this is what it looks like before I start to add color and details. Gonna leave a lot of the black paper, and I like where this is going. Having so much fun with the CP's - thinking about adding some new sets to the Prismacolors, I hear good things about Faber Castell, and maybe some Derwents......hmmm.....
