Portrait study and style research

One of latest artworks. My new brushes used.

I’m still on the way to my own unique style. That’s kinda funny - you sailing in ocean of endless posibilities but completely have no idea where is your own land. So exciting and painful at one time. But it seems like I have a breeze in my sail.
Honestly - I like this artwork. Even today, a few month later I still like it (so unusual xD). Why? cos I got a path by this. And, hey - it’s a first artwork when I give myself a bit of freedom in terms of quality (first success in my tryings to stop overthinking and overpaint)
as for reference - all credits to this cute girl :3
