1. I make outline from my reference picture at the new layer (above background layer). You can see my reference picture here. No detail outline is needed.

2. Make basic shape of the face, at the new layer, and place under the outline layer. I need the sharp edge, so I set the Brush Hardness: 100%.
3. You must choose shadow and highlight color, place in the new layer. Then, add some rough shadow (remember, each step, place it in the new layer, for facilitate when editing/ finishing). You can see my brush setting, here: Tutorial Basic Digital Painting, I always use that brush setting.
4. Make eyes and eyebrow. To make eyelash and eyebrow, I use this brush setting (F5): Shape dynamics, Control: pen pressure.
5. Add lips. I choose soft color here.
6. Add rough hair, no detail needed, this is just for basic hair shape.
7. Add face shadow and highlight.
8. Add hair shadow, I use "Charcoal brush", brush setting: Spacing 1%, Other dynamics: Opacity jitter & Flow jitter: Pen pressure.
