Bella WIP 2

Here's a very small update.  I'm starting Bella's eye.  I used a General's Soft Charcoal pencil for the dark shadow tones in the eye.  The then used a 0.5mm mechanical pencil with a 2B lead for the lighter tone.  I'll take a better close up of the eye and post it tomorrow.  I really want to try to show the detail.   I'm focusing on realism with this but again, I don't want to copy the reference photo exactly.
