here is thepainting i did couple days ago.
Make sure to follow my insta, to see my last updates.
Oh ! And By the way i stream often on twtich and post some videos on youtube, come don't shy.

The sketch

the flats ( midtones ) i always put warmer tone on areas where there are more blood presure such as the nose, ears and so.

Applying the Key light is often a struggle for me but enventualy it end up turing pretty well.

This is almost the final step, i just
liquify here and there add some other effect like, make the key light a bit gloomy effects.

the reference i used, I didn't capture the mood though.
