When you are painting, do you print off something like the first photo you posted?

Sometimes, when I am working from a poor photograph, and I cannot see where the light is, I look at it this way. I use Photoshop for this. There is a less expensive program that Cynthia uses and I remember a post about this somewhere.

I am not sure where to go from the one I have started. It is a commission and I am worried if I cover up her eyes, for example, I will have a hard time getting them right again. I might try working around them...?

Do whatever you have to do that works for you.
Next time, however, do a tracing on acetate from your drawing at the beginning. You can see through it and can use it to guide you to add the details in the upper layers where they belong. You must start simple and then move on to the complex...
