Projected sketch. 
Beginning with blacks for darkest points and shadows.
Hair and middle values for the face are added as loose directions. I'm amused by the fact that the painting of myself is approached more sporadically.
More skin color added, basic highlights.
More shadows and shapes of the face are added loosely. This was the beginning of me going too dark on the face.
I start to work on the body before the face is finished this time. Opaque gel is added to the background around the figure. Now the face needs to be readdressed, as the shadows have gotten far too dark and harsh.
The features of the face are lightened up significantly, then back on to detailing the body and background.
Last highlights made on the face, as well as additional minor touch ups. The painting is about completed here.
