I painted this picture some time ago (a month or so) but I think it’s my favorite so far. I’m mostly putting her on here because I left a comment for Linda on how I paint skin tones and thought an example might be helpful. (Plus, I have almost none of my art on here so it’s nice to share isn’t it? What do you think? Her name is Wonder (just look at her eyes); I’ve got an image already in mind for a follow up called Bliss (I think).
(p.s. I just bought the URL for the BlueLime Art Blog and I’m planning to have it up in
about two weeks or so.)

Oh, she IS wonderful! I’ve gotten the general consesus that flesh is a mix of yellow and red with a touch of blue — then variations of the same for shadows — just like you said! Thank you so much for posting her sweet face so I can see the wonderful skin tones!

Wow! She is so adorable!
You are a good artist! 
Finally I am back, finished university, try to look for a job, a new flat, and throw away A LOT of stuff. (my aunty always asked me “so when are you going to clean all your rubbish?”) Finally I am free now, I am looking for a flat at the moment and hopefully I find somewhere to stay! 
And I will SLOWLY update everything around me during these crazy months! 
How are you recently?

[...] makes me think of another painting that I’ve done, and plan to continue a series on, called Wonder (I have another reference photo for “Bliss” in progress too) in which case the one word [...]
