I sketched this by hand from a photo reference I found in the independent one day during my morning coffee shop sketching session. The thing that struck me about the photo was the way the layers of transparency in the photo posed an interesting challenge. A few unsuccessful sketches in pencil made me fairly determined to get it right digitally. I might post the steps later if anyone is interested, but the basic idea was to get everything roughly correct in B&W before moving to colour. I started with a very rough sketch at low res (400x800) before upscaling to work in detail. I'm not really happy with skin tones in this one, but it was a great learning exercise.
