fooxoo,
This is a well~done drawing ~ I would recommend for scaling it up / transferring it to canvas, gridding off your drawing in small squares that are at a 1:2 ratio (or some other set ratio) to the grid squares you can draw on your canvas. (You can put a piece of tracing paper on top of your drawing with the grid drawn on the tracing paper).
Acrylics are tricky. I recommend using white bristle flat brushes in a variety of sizes ~ medium ~ large at first to block in major areas.
Materials:
Paints: Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, a Dark Green, Burnt Sienna, White.
Pallette: Butcher Tray if they sell them there ~ otherwise use a disposable pallette.
Brushes: White flat synthetic brushes of various sizes / widths, from Large > Medium > Small.
Bucket for water.
Lots of Paper Towels.
Gesso / Large bristle gesso brush or foam brush.
Newspaper to put under your work and to protect your work area.
Start with a dark wash to cover the entire canvas (youâll most likely want to gesso it first if itâs not already gessoed. Donât paint until your gesso is completely dry. Donât paint your gesso on either too thickly or too thinly. Use a big foam brush to paint your gesso onto your canvas on a flat surface). Mix your blacks out of Alizarin Crimson, a dark green, Ultramarine Blue, and Burnt Umber. Do they sell butcher trays in art stores there? These are white ceramic flat dishes with edges that prevent water from getting everywhere. We used these as pallettes in art school. Thin your mixed black with a lot of water, and make successive thin, transparent coats on your canvas to create a dark all over wash, allowing each coat to dry before applying another one. Donât build up the paint too thick, as this is just your base wash. I would recommend sticking to a limited pallette at first. Use your mixed black, the colors listed to make your mixed black, white, and burnt sienna, and thatâs it. Build up your painting strictly in terms of values. Do this until you can read the figure with very little color information. Later you can add glazes using acrylic medium and water to achieve color information in your painting.
Remember to build the paint up gradually ~ if you paint too thickly, youâll just end up with a plastic glob on your canvas. If you paint too thinly, however, youâll never get anywhere. It takes practice to find a good balance. You might want to test a smaller canvas first to get the hang of it.
Work from Dark > Light. Build solid (but not too thick) dark values, and work your entire canvas at once. Donât get caught up in details at first. Get the major values down, so that if you squint your eyes you can make sense of the forms, even if theyâre loose. Then hunker down and refine value relationships. Never use just the pure paint ~ mix it to give it a lighter or darker value / gray it down, especially at the beginning of a painting.
Good luck! Post photos of your WIPs, it will be cool to follow your progress!

Great to see you backâŚI quite like this study! Hehe, no need for apologiesâŚthe main bit is to get down the structure, which youâve done quite nicely. Hope to see more of these drawings from you! 
took about 2.5 hrs, with all the preperation and cleaning up âŚ
