Red with hat

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the head, hat, and facial features using a pencil.

Apply a light wash of red to the background, allowing it to dry.

Using a light blue or grey, loosely define the contours and shadows of the face and neck.

Add washes of color to the face, building up the skin tones with thin layers of red, yellow, and blue.

Paint the hat with white, adding subtle shadows with grey or light brown.

Use darker lines to define the eyes, nose, and mouth, capturing the expression.

Add details to the mustache and hair with short, expressive strokes.

Review and adjust the values and colors as needed to achieve the desired effect.
