Digital portrait-Feel The Light

My newest painting is a digital portrait that i like very much. the model is so pretty, and she is showing such an emotion and there's a little play of light and shadow.
it seemed perfect and i wanted to paint this. i took a little too much time painting this one. i started then i left it as a sketch then i started it again. thats why i missed to post anything yesterday.

Process:
first, i start with a line sketch. at first it wasn't so clean, it was messy and took quite a while to clean things up.
then i block in the area with a hard brush so i can use the clipping layer to paint on it.
then using the same hard edge brush i put on some colors on the skin. if i used this kind of brush for shading it would have a different texture and looks cool but that takes a lots of time and often very difficult. so after placing some color i use soft round brush to blend them paint the entire face. except for the things that are edgy, like the eye brows and the hair.
first i work on the lips and then some of the eye part then the nose. then the entire face.
while working on the face i put on some hair strands to have a clear sense of the face.
i add highlights and shadows and at the end smaller lighter freckles on the face and some color dodge on the hair and finish it with the background.

enjoy the process shots.
