Here's some progress on my healing process. Approximately an hour and a half's worth of work.

Good to see you're still working on this. Tones are much better and the face works. No way am I doing commissions. This was a test drawing.

>a lot of these colors are wrong, the overall color cast is a much softer, unified, reddish/peach
I was working on that. If you'll compare it to previous uploads, you'll notice that the lower half is more blue. I didn't want to fuck with the palette, so this was a second layer.
>your head is too small compared to ref and doesnt seem to as tilted forwards in perspective
I didn't notice the head size. Her looking up was kind of a mistake that I went with because I thought the eyes were too much. I wanted something accurate, but I concluded pretty early on that it wasn't going to be an exact copy because my skill level isn't there. Whenever I noticed I diverged, I would just focus on trying to make it look like it was natural more than anything.
>what are you accomplishing in learning from these details? e.x the weird wood grain you drew in, what does that provide for you in learning,
>or the half attempt at adding some of the plaid of the skirt, or the extremely weird way you did the foliage? if the bg isnt the focus then just don't include it or just blur it out or something
I started focusing on the environment when I got bored of drawing her. It was really more of an effort to keep me going by filling out as much as possible when times were tough. Regarding the skirt, I just wanted to get the folding right, which I think I mostly did (very messily)

Will try to do those things that you suggested.
