Personal Development - Speed Painting

Mix of good tunes and sudden urge to paint! I wanted to focus on speed painting. I need to:

- Get faster at my work
- Know when to stop
- Try not to zoom in and detail one area too much. Time consuming, less is more, and it sits unevenly with the rest of the picture

Also practiced some lighting, but did not adhere to proper anatomy or a reference.

Initial sketch (afew minutes):


Half an hour mark:


An hour:


Not happy about the legs/feet, which I started to try cut off. Hair took 3 fresh attempts, which usually isn't allowed in a speed paint! About 5 layers. Wish I did more with certain areas, but happy with the subtle lighting and skin :) All practice!

And a cropped zoomed up version:
