Photoshop - Painting a face

What can I say? Hope it helps at least one person on this planet a little bit and I'm happy X)
I only painted this picture for this tuto...and writing that stuff etc took me longer than the picture itself lol

Detailed tutos on how painting eyes, lips, nose...hair and whatnot will follow...but not today
Please ask if you don't understand something...or if you have any further questions.

Edit: Here's the closeup as promised: [link]
Fear it's sloppyness! ^^ I Doodled the neck, shoulders and wimple thing in 10minutes lol :]
