Gift Art - Lynnie

So i wanted to do a portrait to practice hair and shadow a bit and figured I might as well offer to make it a gift art for yet another friend.
Learned that i reaaally like like to do the shadow on a separate layer and can really only recommend it also tried a new technic to make hair seem more standish...this both worked awesomely, though still some things i only learned by doing them wrong so...partially epic win i guess.
The new technic for noses is not exactly an improvement in my eyes though
