4 hours, photoshop, again with reference. Im using my sis's computer for this, its in the living room and damn are you're prone to disturbance when you're not painting in the comfort of your room. I think this didn't turn out as polished. This one also didn't look as close as my ref then my previous attempt. Theres so many subtle lights playing off the face in this one, I dont think I managed to really capture that, maybe I should choose a picture with more contrasting lights.
Things learned: Texture is important, instead of rendering highlights and shadows with a round flat brush, use dots, speckles, to add texture to the way light bounces off the skin. Also keep in mind the relation of one shade next to another. A very bright highlight on the lips wont look as bright if the areas surrounding it aren't dark enough.
