• 0:07 , I block big silhouette of object, using dark unsaturated colors. I use brush with grungy border to not be tempted to detail, or clearly try to make the silhouette clean.
• 0:16 , with a big brush and 'Color Dodge' blending mode, I decide of a primary light source. Here it's obvious the back windows.
• 0:28 , I start to paint with big mid-brush ( still grungy ). It's secondary little silhouette. Warm touch , I tend to define this way ( chromatic and luminosity ) where the main focus will be : her face.
• 0:46 , I start to reduce the brush and draw. Fixing pose, and proportion.
• 0:48, second light from the cauldron ( still no details as the face of Pepper )
• 1:00, framing, using the rule of third, and centered axis.
• 1:12 starting to draw on volumes subdetails : face mimic, the last part of the video is just cleaning ( adding hard edges and inner details to object ).
