I was doing some embarrassingly rough doodles when I started noodling with the idea. I liked the whole mysterious figure that I was coming up with so I just went for it as a painting.
I began by taking lots of pictures for the hand and the face that I put together and loosely referenced.
Usually I'd sketch some line work smaller and then scale it up to the actually size the painting would be. This time I skipped this step since this was something I was doing for fun and I'm currently without a printer. I went to sketching it at full scale, which was on an 18"x 24" drawing pad.
As a whole I was really happy with the drawing as it was and made a transfer to canvas by using charcoal covered tracing paper.
Before painting I put the drawing into Photoshop and made a rough color comp. Which I did decided to change the hood color after a discussion with the husband, the face changed as the piece went on as well. Overall this was a fun painting, really great to just work with the paint and learn from that.
