How to quickly elevate your Portrait Paintings - YONEYAMA MAI, Artist Study

I hope you learned something helpful to quickly elevate your Portrait Paintings from this video!
This was my first video of these sorts but I'm really looking forward to making more art and animation related content :)

I tried to study portrait illustration, this time with a focus on a tool most often used in photography and live action film, with the help of the masterful Yoneyama Mai.
As always, I'm happy to hear your feedback or any suggestions.
