Okay, ater all that stretching, I needed to select the drawing on the pencil layer and shrink it down to fit in the document.Then I chose the photo layer and shrunk the photo back down with the free transform tool, and lined it up so the neck area lined up with the drawing. Then I drew it in. *Notice that after shrinking the drawing down, the line weight looks a little too heavy. We'll be changing that next.


After locking and hiding the photo layer, I selected the drawing and changed the entire line weight to 1. Then, while still selected, I increased the drawing to best fit the document. I had to lengthen the shoulder lines a bit. Now it should be in its final position. A few last steps and it's time to start painting.



The last steps before painting begins. I always draw a thick outline just on the outer lines of the drawing. I used a line weight of 6. Then I changed the line weight to 2.50 for the outline of the face and the suit. I didn't change the facial features at all. By all means, experiment with your own. I should have added the hair features earlier but better late than never right?


Now let's get this thing painted up!
