I painted this out of my head, save looking in a mirror for eyebrows (you should have seen them before). I have nothing against using reference, in fact I think it's usually the best thing to do. But my problem is I find it very difficult to work *without* reference or working from life, so I am training myself to do so.
One trick I did on this image was create two layers, fill them with 50% gray, and apply the pointillize filter to each one, one with a cell size of 3, and the other with a size of 4. Then I desaturated the two layers, set them to overlay, and reduced their fill to 7%. That basically gives the image a subtle noise which isn't as ugly as the regular noise filter. I think it helped break up the flat areas.
