calling this one done. I wanted to fix some of the knees but got lazy and didn't want to clean up the face linework...

New clipping mask procedure determined empirically:
>paint base color
>duplicate base 4-5 times
>create 4-5 clipping masks from duplicates
>over base do gradient, shade 0, shade 1, highlights
>go back to each mask and use half opacity air brush eraser to soften edges

Then I tried to do the hair, it was fucking impossible. I just started scribbling the base clipping mask for the hair to add strands, now its just random... Tips on hair?

I only know how to use 2 brushes... I always want that cool painterly looking brush that gives texture, but I can't find it.

Does this count as OC? I used a ref for the pose

Now i'm just rambling... I stayed up all night - time for work
