For this one, I really had fun mixing colours in weird ways and I used my hands and fingers to create flame-like shadows. I wanted to make the character really frail and not exactly human, with a concave poster and a strange, deer-in-the-headlights sort of expression. I made her lips really thick and I thought of Picasso when I painted her eyes. (There are a couple of paintings that are similar to this one)
Great use of warm and cool colors and once again great texture in the background! I like that there is a smokey quality to it. And you've also created a really nice value range, having those dark areas right behind the figure and having the bright whites in front.
