Hi guys!!
Working on a small mini project for myself trying to find a process from sketch to finish, specially boost my photoshop skills...
here is my flow

couple of sketches i drew with some friends at a coffee shop, choose which one i like.

this stage i did a marker sketch, once done another piece paper on top of it and start the drawing phase where the shading, detailing etc..took me about 5-6 hrs. i left the face empty cause i was erasing too much figuring out the face...need more practice.

simple fill colour just to block out the white...

here's what I've got so far with the image, sorry for the big post and links just want to show you guys how i work and if it makes sense. C&C are a MUST!! need some feedback if you guys can help me out in photoshop... should i keep the pencil work or make it 100% digital or is it just that I'm just thinking too much of it?
