I had a ton of trouble with this study, spent over two hours on it and had to restart in the middle because I was getting too focused on details. I'm really only happy with how the hair feels, like 2d but still soft- not that that was my goal. I struggled and feel like I learned a lot about skin and color and makeup, so it was worth it. Also part of it could have been that I was streaming and was super nervous! Not an excuse. 
That neck and jaw though... It's like I couldn't even see what was happening. Well, time for some facial anatomy studies. Next update will b figure drawing and anatomy of the face and neck.

1. Use the biggest brush possible for a given passage.
2. Paint large shapes first, followed by small shapes.
3. Save your tonal and chromatic accents until the last.
4. Try to soften any edge that doesn’t need to be sharp.
5. Take time to get the center of interest right.
Or, the briefer version: (B.L.A.S.T.)
Big brushes.
Large to small.
Accents last.
Soften edges.
Take your time.
