Gael in Process

I always enjoy looking at other artists' process and wips to see how they go about creating their wonderful art so i though i would post one of my own. This is my process for the commissioned portrait of Gael. I tried to scan the piece at the end of each day so we have the reference photo my friend gave me to work from, my preliminary sketch in graphite, and then a scan at the end of day 2, day 3, day 4 and then the final piece finished on the 5th day.
