I recently aquired  a Samsung Surface Pro tablet with a wacom stylus pen. And while I have done great work with it, it has been mostly in vector format. 

So after feeling comfortable enough I recently started a daily 'portrait sketching practice'

The third in line of my all time sexiest actress;

Emma Watson digital portrait

The starting sketch and color blending its done in Manga Studio (which im still working on), while the pores, wrinkles and blemishes will be done in Photoshop as it has a larger array of brushes. 
 
On another notes; if anyone wants a daily update of the art, I invite you to follow me in my instagram account; @luisfausartdirector

Base lines, Light sources & perspective arrangements

Color layout of skin surface, heavy opacity oil paint brush

Softening of color tonalities all throughout and commencing blending & shape definition

softones and lights process

Skin and hair tonalities adjusted, background painted and readjusted

I know the perspective its a bit crappy on the boards but its still a thing i need to readjust as i stretch it to fill up the gap. 

Light vfx painting and dof blur added grain for deeper impact. 

Color sharpen, correction of mistakes and color change of bra and light. I think Its done now.
