I love how this is painted! So smooth! Did you use a regular hard round brush? My only criticism would be the mouth and just above, it seems kind of strange. Regardless of which though, wonderful job
thanks ! i used a regular hard brush for the first layers which are just a blocked out flat color or colors and then i used a hard brush on low opacity and low flow about 25% to blend the colors. also when i finished i duplicated the image and blurred the top one and then lowered its opacity to about 15 and then i erased that layer in some parts which i wanted to stay sharp.
