I start with the projected sketch.
I start with black to make the darkest shadows/points of the face.
Second to darkest values added next, sparingly.
The face is loosely colored in. I will layer over the face repeatedly until this area is fully saturated with paint and expresses the best likeness. 
Refinement of facial features, then on to painting the body in.
I paint up to the hands and feet. I almost always focus on these elements last.
More layers and subjective color are added. Creamy modeling paste is added to the background. This painting is shown here at near completion.
