Get rid of the borders, no need for them especially that thick. Try to get V1's skin tone in V2. So go back to that gradient or what ever it is you used and erase around the face/hair area with a black brush on the mask. Other then that good job keep it up and you'll leave all the people in the AC who started around the same time as you in the dust. Also keep in mind what I told you about fads and styles.
