Pretty In Pink

Soooo...progressing with my portrait practicing, I tried to nail this one out without doing a grey scale first. I think deep down it'd be better for me in the future to do tonal then colour, just to get the shadows more consistent. However! I do like how it turned out in the end

Referenced from a stock image of a beautiful girl I just fell in love with in terms of composition, I decided to take a stab at it. Completely painted by eye, with a few creative tweaks such as the lips, scarf thing, purple/red/pink hues in the skin and hair.

Well it's an improvement! I seem to get better at these the more I paint them, fancy that
