Single portrait progress

For my single portrait i chose to have a single coloured background with no props other than the obvious skateboard. In my reference photo the model is covering all but her eyes. Here is a photo of my medel Carly posing in a similar way the original photo.

Hair assistant Cayley helping Carly with an urgent fringe dilemma.

I tried a range of different poses including showing the full face and holding the skateboard out from her body but the style i liked the most was having the board covering only part of Carly's face.
