I drew the outline of a head in a black and white (500 x 500 pixels) document in "ColorIt". Now is the time to correct the shape of the head or eyes, it will be much more difficult to do it later, because there are more grayscales.
Step two:
I copied the outline into a 256 grayscales document, and scaled it down to 50%. I used the adjustement feature in "ColorIt" to darken the skin. Then I set the "blur"-tool to "heavy", and started to "blur" all black lines. Now I used the "darken"-tool to add shadows where the "blurred" lines were. I used the "lighten"-tool to highlight the nose.
Step three:
I drew the other side of the head. Normally I do that in step one, but I hadn't yet decided what it should look like.
Added some more detail. The head has to be finished before moving on to the next step.
Step four:
I used "effect - perspective" to add a more surreal feel to the head. It now looks like it stares at you from underneath. I scaled the picture down to 50% one more time, so that the edges were sharper. If you alter the contrast (which can create really cool effects), make sure you do so BEFORE you scale down the picture. This will prevent ugly rugged edges.
Note: I drew the body right after changing the perspective.
