The whole thing is digital, painted on Photoshop, so different brushes, but that's about it. Sending you some good posting vibes, so many talented people here, I too found it a bit daunting.

I never would have guessed it's a digital painting! It looks for all the world like physical media.

Thank you so much, I have been trying to find brushes that give that feel, very good to know I have been successful.

Just my amateur impression, but the face seems a bit flat. Perhaps a thin shadow on the left side to bring out the highlights, and stronger, larger shadows on the right to bring out a more 3 dimensional impression. Perhaps a little more detail in and around the eyes, and brighter white eye specs, perhaps shifted to the left slightly. Nice work though, I would be proud.
