Smoking Figure part 26

Another two hour session in the Studio today, another big piece of the block cut. This time it was the blouse. Once again, cut out the white sections, then the gray tones. I also finished a piece of the arm on the right side (near the elbow) that I had missed last time, but put off the rose tattoo until another time. Above is the current state of the block. Over the weekend I'll try to finish the rest of the figure (the skirt) so that I'll have at least that much ready for the critique.
