This is an absolutely gorgeous piece and I really appreciate the time you took to explain your method (one of these days I will actually sit down and read Loomis instead of skimming through). I do have a few questions, if you don't mind: I assume when rendering, you keep all your colors on one layer? And may I ask what basic brushes you use?

Thanks again! I really, really like the colors.

Thanks! :)

And yeah, I generally try to use as few layers as possible. This piece was all one layer, the only time I'll use multiple layers is if a client requests it or if I know the background is going to be complex and difficult to paint 'around' the character. Otherwise, I prefer it as simple as possible. : )

As far as brushes, don't use too many, some somewhat painterly brushes, Mr--Jack's brushes, regular hard-rounds, and a few texture brushes, nothing too fancy.

You actually start with lines? ^^ Good to see I'm not the only one, even though my art teachers constantly nag at me (they want us to start with grey shapes)

Yeah, I usually start with lines. It's just another way of working; starting with shapes is easier for composition and value structure, but if you're trying to get a structurally solid portrait or figure I've found that starting with a good drawing is faster and easier.

I'm going to try this technique for my next self portrait :) Thanks for sharing the process!
