Hair and skin study 01.

Description

2015 is focused around improving. I will be uploading most of my studies here on DeviantArt in my studies folder. I will also make a quick note of the things I learned while doing the study.
Feedback is appreciated.

Findings:
1. Lips are darker as the skin continues into the mouth and turns lighter towards the outer skin in a soft gradient.
2. Pale skin has very subtle hue nuances towards pink, no high contrast.
3. Backlighting causes a highlighted rim light around the head in the hair and makes the hair seem inflamed.
4. Setting up all the tones with a big brush is the only way to go.
5. Eyes do not always need a shimmer.

Thanks for all the comments! I will do my best to reply to most of them, even if it sometimes takes a while, reading these always cheers me up a lot! :D
