Progress Post Project #8 (Part 2)

Below are photos of my updated progress with project # 8. I worked off of my progress from my last process post and continued to finish and define the values on the hand. After this was completed I was able to get a good sense of the values that I would need to layer for the beads. I worked slowly on each bead spending at least 30 minutes on the larger beads and 15 minutes on the smaller ones. However, ultimately this technique paid off nicely as the beads in this drawing look even better than those on my project #7 (especially the highlights and flower patterns on the beads). At this point in my drawing process I am almost finished, I simply need to add the Arabic lettering/word to the piece and it will be complete!
