This is one of the older sketches that I made and it is not the usual sketches I make from markers and ink pens. This is how I first started.
Filled in the nose after getting the main face frame drawn.
After being done with whole face I started with shading the eyes and using colors.
Finally time for the red background. Had to be done just right as to not get mixed with the drawing and to get the washed out effect.
You can check out the sketches I made of creatures with little references.
