Pumpkin's Palette: Faces of Shino (Hakkenden)

While I patiently wait for the new raws for BroConf, and having Believe My Dice (OP of Makai Ouji) on repeat, here are a few scratches of Shino from Hakkenden.
Each little story of Hakkenden always seems to make me feel very emotional. Yesterday's episode was about helping a blind girl.
I was playing around with different brushes in the palette of MyPaint. I don't think I'm using my brushes correctly :/
It seems I need more practice - especially on side profiles. (And girls).
