I am a patron for Izzy Medrano over on Patreon, and his assignment this month was to go from big to small in brush size to block out the basic shapes and create a referenced portrait within an hour.
Assignment process: http://sta.sh/0omtz3biuix
The final version you see here is the version I spent an extra hour on because I did this as a Mother's Day gift!
If you have an extra $10 to spare each month, I'd highly recommend supporting Izzy, he makes fantastic tutorials each month that really help push your understanding of art. https://www.patreon.com/izzymedrano
