Drawing with pencil ... Street Fighter Ryu?

Hello Steemians

I am really grateful and thankful for the support on my entries into the "Learn To Draw With Friends" Art Contest by @tonyr, the link to the contest is shown below:

For those who are not familiar with it:

Essentially, tonyr provides 3 pictures in the contest link (along with the image credits). There are Amazing Art works on the contest, and you can either submit one of your drawings or vote on other participants' drawings.

I have attempted the option "Streetfighter!!" (referring to the picture shown in the link above) as my first entry and submitted my entry a few days ago, and created a post:

I chose initially to focus on the top portion of the reference image for my entry attempt because I wanted to capture the intensity of Ryu's expression. The top portion drawing took longer than I had expected, because of all the details required. I submitted the drawing and received some positive feedback and I'm very thankful for the support.

And now because of the support, I decided to try out the bottom portion of the reference image. I enjoy drawing (Ryu is one of my favorite Street Fighter characters) and this is just for completeness and fun as I have already submitted my entry.
Below is the drawing attempt of the bottom portion of the reference image.

Bottom Portion:

Top Portion:

And when the two Portions are combined:

Here are some close up of my drawing attempt:

DRAWING PROCESS (ANIMATED)
This is an animated gif of the drawing process for both portions.

Below are some main progress pictures.

For the top portion:

To start off, I began a rough sketch in pencil

Once the rough sketch is there, I would incorporate the shading and some fine tuning.

Once the normal pencil drawing is done, I start adding some colour.

And this is it.

For the bottom portion:

To start off, I began a rough sketch in pencil

Once the rough sketch is there, I would incorporate the shading.

And then the fine tuning process begins

And this is it

And Combined (Combined Size is an A3 paper - 420 x 297 mm):

I did create a detailed post of how to draw the top portion, let me know if you would like to see a post detailing the process of drawing the bottom portion.
