wow that selfie looks really solid! nice brush efficiency. It looks really fast and dynamic but I think you really took your time with picking and placing every color. Paid off! Maybe only lacks a dedicated area of contrast, like a strong rim- or sidelight to push the lights and darks and model the forms even more, right now it's all mid-values. If you like to keep the values close, that's cool; just look for other places in the image where you can put those other values! ruan jia does that all the time, his stuff looks really foggy and the values seem to be super close but he still works with the whole range somehow.
