Life painting final

Life painting work in progress

New process I have been toying with.  Started on a toned canvas color is irrelevant just depends on the mood you want to achieve.  Than I start gesturing in the composition with vince charcoal, I than proceed with a sharpie and ruff in the details. Once the drawing is in place I add white highlights with gesso or acrylic paint or guash whatever is on hand.  Next step oil glaze in a basic shadow tone.  And than comes the underpainting blocking in color using an old masters dead pallet.  The last step involves glazes with a double primary palette.  The outcome for this painting.  egh.  Not the best but love the process and will continue working with it until I figure it out.  Thanks for the views.
