tutorial - drawing a female face

at long last! a loish tutorial! this one was commissioned by the folks over at autodesk-sketchbook, for the March Hero Challenge that just went up! more info here - March Hero Challenge: Stephen Silver

You can find the full tutorial over on my website!

although the art was made in autodesk sketchbook 7 (more info on the program here - sketchbook.com), the method applies to basically any digital program that has basic layer and brush functions. i mostly use photoshop but have been playing around with sketchbook more since getting a cintiq companion (it's a more intuitive and fast program for touch devices).
