Practice and Comments

I would like to share my drawing practice and my impressions of it.
I usually do croquis and black-and-white reproductions, but I rarely practice with colors and backgrounds, so this was a very fruitful practice for me. The reason why I practiced this time was because I thought that I would be better suited to painting without too much coloring, I wanted to learn accurate lighting, and I wanted to improve the balance of my face, which is too clumsy and too much in the way it is drawn now. I used the "Catalogue of Poses in Light and Shadow" by Mahr, Inc. as my reference material.
I used Procreate's "distortion" tool a lot to correct the face, so it's not clear how I drew the face. I need more practice on this facial balance.
Also, the wrinkles on the clothes! I always draw things by accident, so it was good that I was able to draw it properly while looking at the materials. This also needs practice.... In the end, I still need more practice for all of them! I concluded that I still need more practice in all of them, but I realized a lot. Maybe I can improve if I incorporate these practices in between?
When I uploaded this picture on Twitter and Misskey, I got some responses, and I think I did a good job with the facial balance (in my case, the number of likes is totally different between the secondary and primary works, but I got a lot of likes for the latter!) ).
I'll also leave a brief making of it.
Thanks for your time. See you soon!
