"Imaginary Portrait - Pale Aura"

This one is my latest #cryptoart #NFT on Makers Place. It's an animated digital painting, done on an Android tablet with Infinite Painter:

Usually I start sketching without any idea of where I'm going to go except that I know I'm making a face.

I get rid of the symmetry after the sketch, and start adding character & details with some lopsidedness:
