I recently aquired - around 4 months ago - a Samsung Surface Pro tablet with a wacom stylus pen. And while I have done great work with it, it has been mostly in vector format.
So after feeling comfortable enough I recently started a daily 'portrait sketching practice'
The first in line of my all time favourite actors;
Arnold schwarzenegger digital portrait
The starting sketch and color blending its done in Manga Studio, while the pores, wrinkles and blemishes are done in Photoshop as it has a larger array of brushes.
On another notes; if anyone wants a daily update of the art, I invite you to follow me in my instagram account; @luisfausartdirector

Head & shape base lines
light and shadow skin work with base lines
A very rough looking Arnie; a good base to pass to the next stage
Color blending & hair volume blur and sharpen
Final outcome; work of lighting, skin pores, blemishes, wrinkles and other fine detailing. However i know myself there is other parts that are still unfinished, i think as for a practice illustration its quite accomplished.
