After recieving several comments and questions about my layers count, I decided to go back and actually count them. All along, to count layers, because Photoshop names each of your shape layers a number, I would just go back and find the shape layer with the largest number and declare that the layer count. I didn't know that even when you delete shape layers, it counts from the last shape layer you made regardless of how many you've deleted. So, when I counted them today, I got 134 layers, not 173 meaning I may have drawn a total of 173 shapes but only used 134 of them. Sorry about that guys.

And for further clarification, here's a breakdown:
nose (3)
hair (9)
eyes (27)
earrings (6)
lips (23)
shading (38)
face/body (28)
TOTAL (134)
