Digital portrait study-portrait 16-texture and redness

This is my newest digital portrait that i have been working on since yesterday. Finally finished. I did a little bit of experiment on this one. I have some favorite artist and 'dzydar' is one of them and her/his arts are amazing and full of textures.
I wanted to see if i could just paint the whole thing starting from the beginning with texture brushes. I tried but failed and then i used my usual way and at the end added some textured layer.
I don't know if other artists do that. Also i wanted to use to much red to see if i can bring out the redness of the skin out.
I think i succeeded.
Used Reference image for the structure and style.
Here are some process shots:

3rd picture is horrible. Looks like zombie. Lol
yeah.... the process is not really pleasant, there are times when the painting looks way more horrible and i feel like i wouldn't be able to make it look good.
It's so fun to experiment with new techniques, good work! I have included this post in my weekly curation Ocean of Art!
oh, thank you so much

What a beautiful job, and you can see the dedication and time invested in it.
