I find that kids just tend to smoulder for a while and then go out 

Great to see you back and equally great to see that you've improved much more than I have.

I especially like that first one and the way the edge of the hair turns into linework that defines the shape of the head and jaw.

Ok one more before I go to bed, today’s effort. 
I’ve been copying refs so closely recently I wanted to try and combine a pose with an alternative colour scheme to see if I could render it realistically so I’ll include the two refs I used so you can judge for yourselves.  
 
 

Good to see you back Atto! I sent a birthday greeting on Messenger since you were (then) inactive on FB but it turned out that you (like Banj) don't use messenger Nevertheless I have been watching your daily paintings since you"came back online" and I'm glad you opted to come back here too!

On the last pic above, I think you didn't quite capture her face. The cheek in the shadows looks too big - I think it might be that the eye is a weeee bit too far left. Good job (and fun idea) on the colour switcharoo, though

Sure. If you don't want any birthday greetings
