Description
Done in Spring 2008 for my AP Art Portfolio. Super fun.
For those who want reference for their own efforts, I used this as a breadth & quality picture. I got a 5.

I did that grid measurement technique thing to get all the relative proportions in order.
Inked with Microns, colored with Prismacolor Markers, & touched up with Prismacolor Colored Pencils

Thank you.
First you draw a grid over a small picture. Make sure the griddling creates equal sided squares. Then draw the same grid, proportionately bigger, on a blank piece of paper.
