First thing is to trace some lines from the original photo in order have guidelines for painting over it later, it might look kinda messy but that's because I included lines for where the light or shadows were the strongest.

Starting with the paint over, getting those blue light blocks in the right places.

After some hours of blending the face starts looks good but still a lot to do, specially the hair was quite difficult.

Almost there, now comes the cleaning process and fixing little details here and there.

At this stage it's pretty much finished, only needs to get that Watercolour paper texture applied and my signature to call it as complete.
