Hi Rebecca,
If you go with the modifications suggested, I'd be interested to know how you do it. I've used colored pencils for a long time (although not as much as I used to) and I find that it is a very touchy media where I have to do a lot of planning and layout in order for it to turn out successfully. Once an area is "worked up" to a certain degree, it is very difficult for me to change it. I can't cover or wipe out.
Also interested if you know of any ways to cut down on the waxy sheen from built up wax in the tooth of the paper. (Can't remember where, but I read somewhere this is called bloom).
If you haven't already done so, try colored the pencils on colored paper. It has a great effect and supplies an overall tone to unify the work.
Good luck! Great portrait!
