Digital painting - scared

Hello everyone, how are you all today? I am here to share a new digital portrait painting with you all.
unlike other portrait paintings, i used a different range of colors for the skin tone in this drawing.

At the beginning, i used the symmetrical tool draw the painting, like the sketch the initial coloring, etc.
At the end i turned that off and made some changes.

Instead of my usual saturated colors, i used more desaturated colors for this and it seemed its working really well. I blended the colors but not completely smoothly. i kept some of those brush strokes visible and that gave the drawing a really nice texture.

here are some process shots for this drawing.
