Picture
Sketch--traced over a lightbox
Line art on canvas -- traced using carbon paper from sketch. Line art and shadows done using black permanent marker
Colour blocking-- to decide where to put highlights, shadows, skin and background colour
1st test for 2nd print -- cutting was ok but the back ground colour was uneven
2nd print -- quite happy with how it turned out. smudged a bit on the face but overall happy with the result
Final print -- smudged on some areas but still satisfied with the result. It gives me 1950s mystery movie vibes
