New style time!  This is a portrait sketch that I did of a character design that I'm working on.  I usually sketch and fill in values by crosshatching before scanning it in, so I thought I could try to do the same when I painted digitally.  Its definitely a different technique for me- to rely a little more on trying to keep the 'sketchy' aspect of the original work.

I'm not quite sure what going on with his hair or the top of his head, to tell you the truth.  I originally thought of slapping a helmet on him, but I'm not sure if my lack of knowledge with hats in general is preventing me from getting a good sketch of it or not… eh.  I may do his full body sketch and see what works out- maybe that will help me figure out what to do with his headgear.
