I'm still pretty much practicing via trial and error, which might not be the best approach, since the layers of "wrong" colors I overpainted really make the result seem "dirty" if you get, what i mean...
There is still a lot of room to grow. For one: I am quite unhappy with the metallics and I didn't realize before, how absurdly hard it is, to get skin right.
But I learned a lot. And I am sure my next one can be better. :)
