Hey looks good.
What about using more textured brushes? You could make a collection of "painting workshop" brushes suited to the task.
Did you use a full tablet laptop or a regular one with a separate wacom tablet?

i used a regular laptop with wacom tablet. Yea texture brushes would be cool.

I really like this. The shapes that you used on the neck are especially nice. I think the face could use a little more color variation though. But yeah, nice.

How do you approach a digital painting from life? Did you take some time and pick some basic colors? Or did you just kinda attack? I've never done a live digital painting and wonder about people's approaches.

i just kinda attacked it but my approach is pretty traditional...big shapes to small shapes. I only used a round opaque brush.
