Lets go painting!

So very recently I decided to start painting a face. I haven't painted with traditional paints for years, and well I've never really ever properly painted digitally... so here we are! 

Heres a WIP shot of what I've done so far tonight, pretty pleased with it so far! The aim is to finish a simple portrait of a woman just to get my skills up to scratch before using the techniques on my later work. 

I'll keep posting the progress as I go through the stages... whenever that is. I do a lot of stuff.
