I decided that instead of building my final character directly from my colour studies, I would combine elements from all of my ideas into a character that I felt best represented my interpretation of the witch.

I really liked the idea of the witch covering her face that was in my final colour study, however I felt that if she was covering her own face, it would be very difficult to be able to show any emotion from her, and that wouldn't give the impression of the determined, but ultimately broken character, determined to regain her family's honour.
Additionally, I made her kimono more damaged, ripped and torn in various places, showing how long she has been in the wilderness and away from society. In the same vein, some of her hair is in a traditional bun, held together with kanzashi pins, however strands of hair have fallen out of place and trail behind her.
I also added a version of her face without the veil, seeing as she wouldn't always be able to wear it.
