The following digital painting tutorial was done in Corel Painter IX. This tutorial was created to help an artist friend in the development of a digital portrait painting. She supplied me the image she started, which served as a good under painting for my painting style.

About 7 hours to complete.

Step I: Sketch Comparison

I made a sketch to compare with the painting she started and superimposed it over her painting to check feature placements. It was important to me to make sure all features were in the right place before I started to add paint to it.
