Katie Herzig - WIP 3 of 4

This is WIP 3 of 4. I've had a lot of people ask me to do some step scans for Blonde hair, and thought this would be a good one. NOTE: I will post the FINAL in actual size, but these WIP's will be larger, so you can see the details.

Katie Herzig is a Singer-Songwriter from Nashville. She is part of the highly acclaimed group of Singer-Songwriters known as "TOT" or "Ten out of Tenn" (Tennessee), along with my song Andrew Belle. Katie is the one who sang on my son's song "Static Waves"
