A bit more experimentation with this portrait.

I wanted to do two things, first focus on a darker skin tone and second rework the stylisation.

The long neck was becoming part of my style, but I felt like it was getting longer with each portrait and growing out of control, so I had a rethink. Yes, the neck is still longer than usual, but not ridiculously long. I also realised that it was becoming the only area which was out of proportion so I made the face longer too, as well as increasing the eye size.

Hopefully this one feels a bit more balanced.
