Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.
As usual I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my portraits from the hair, but in his case I started with the eyes and other features of the face before going to the hair. This is to helps me work downward and from left to right before moving down to the clothing. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail. Making sure nothing was left out since I love excellent work. And I know myself. I know I'm always committed to excellence regardless of who or which work it may be.
