Thanks Rakurri and Ramon, I will attach link to file with this portrait so you will see whats the trick, I think with this trick you can achieve similar effect with different brushes, more important is that you know how they works.
On top of the painting layers there is “Satine” effect which makes dark edges stronger and two texture overlays, one with paper, second with watercolor grain.
For the brush I was testing small idea, what if more pressure of tablet pen gives darker color but also strongest saturation. Its small effect but gives nice feeling during painting.
The trick for painting for me was to start from the less obvious subsurface color of the skin.
