So, through the past few weeks I made a bunch of busts of several of my own characters and friends' too, trying out different ideas and brushes. This painting shows all I got to learn with this practice, used into a drawing with proper composition where I cared about the pose and usage of the space instead of a quick bust, so it's posible to appreciate the full potential I have using this style.

It's still a speedpainting... when you look up close it's pretty messy. But the overall look of it it's pretty good IMO considering the balance of detail/time put into it. It was about two hours.

I would appreciate any advice or critique on this style.
