Popular demand poll has it! I made 8 scans along the way while drawing my most recent drawing of IRON MAN - Robert Downey Jr
Keep in mind, the drawing is ONLY 6 x 7 INCHES and I have this enlarged now to show layering and line work details.
I always start with an outline! I use different methods for measuring the distance between facial features. I NEVER just guess the distance! It became obvious to me early on in portrait drawing, there there was a precise measurement involved? You can use rulers, markings on scrap paper, grid paper, etc. The outline is not a fast sketch either. If you don't get it right, the whole drawing is off! I'd have to be friggin Criss Angel or something to just "eye" it up?!? I never claimed to be THAT good HA!

You should do a youtube tutorial on exactly how you measure before drawing that would be great!
