Cool color study up there! Just be aware that if you use strong and saturated colors around the face, it can make the skin color look desaturated in comparison.
I like the doodle of your last post - but either I am misunderstanding what's going on with the light at her head, or she lacks a piece of forehead. Always think about where your light source is, maybe make a arrow or two on your canvas to remember where your light comes from.
I've made a little overpaint to show what I mean about the head - if you want to turn the head up or away more, maybe drawing the skull underneath first could help. And as I was in photoshop anyway I simplified the shadows a bit to show what I mean by using a defined ligth source to describe form... sorry for molesting your painting *runs away*
