Here's a pencil sketch of Penance's normal appearance, obviously glaring at the viewer. The mediums used were paper and a regular old pencil. Took less than 3 hours to do, from initial sketch to final pencil rendition. It's not as tight as one of my finished works, but it's a decent representation of the type of stuff I do for my mainstream work. Aside from custom portraits or specific images, I produce all my artwork (even this piece) with zero reference material. That's sort of my "specialty attraction" for a lot of my customers, since most artists tend to draw from existing photographs.
Me? I like doing shit the hard way, man. Enjoy!

I've got a few other sketches of her facial features (both as this form and as the little bear), but there are a couple sketches here too:

Thanks! She's a little outside the typical "hot chick" look: kinda puggish nose, a longer than usual space between the base of the nostrils and the upper lip, slightly pudgy cheeks (the ones on her face, mind you).
I've got a sketch of her looking angry and screaming or yelling. Lots of sharp teeth in that mouth of hers, uh huh...

Wow, guy! I find her lovely to look at!
Ok, on the the Q&A Part of the comment box:
1) Normal pencil - Super-sharp all the time? Blunt?
2) Hair Lines - I gotta believe getting all that hair has GOT to drive you, well, batty at times, no?
3) Finger Smudging - Do you use it, or shave some lead off and press it in instead?
You know me, I can;t draw... just always fascinated. (And hope the eyes are doin' well.)

Thanks! As for your questions:
1) I sharpen it for details, but otherwise use it until it's blunt.
2) Drawing hair is not as hard as it looks. Even in a sketch!
3) I use "smudge sticks" (there's another name for them too, but damn if I can't remember it now!) - they're tubes of highly compressed soft paper/felt used to soften pencil strokes. I use them a lot in my regular work.

Well, I don't use any sort of reference material for my mainstream work, unless it's something I've never drawn before. If someone wants a picture of a 1953 Studebaker, I may have to look at some pictures of it to get the details right. But I won't draw the car as it appears in the references. Too many artists do that, and it hardly makes it challenging.
The landscapes, people, and buildings I draw all come from my head. The benefit of this is that 1) no one could ever accuse me of copying something, and 2) it allows for really cool and unique camera angles.
As for speed, well, I'm usually pretty fast at sketches. But full color work takes me forever to complete.

I like how you gave her horns a sort of groove/tree-ring theme. Indentation on the upper lip is a nice touch, and her ears remind me Onika's, though MUCH smaller in scale. They also have a slightly more conic shape to them. Her face is a lot more "smoothed out" than your earlier sketches, which gives her a much younger look. Not sure if that was the intent with this, but there you go. Looking forward to more of these, man.
