step 1 of 6

Block in rough shapes and colors, on neutral background. I work on only one layer, primarily with the marker tool.

step 2 of 6

Smoothing colors, and getting better shapes going on. The face and arm/hand are the two areas I really want to emphasize, so the most detail and clearest lines will go there.

step 3 of 6

Continuing with the detail

step 4 of 6

Darkening colors and working on his eyes.

step 5 of 6

There is greater contrast, and the most detail in this step, which is essentially the complete, but not yet final image, as the colors are rather soft and dull.

step 6 of 6

This is the final piece, in which I kicked up the brilliancy of the colors, to give his face a fleshier, healthier, and warmer feel.
