i chose kratos by far the best char base non anime based i can draw so yeah idd stick with this :3
ofcourse i start with the render and im creating an diagonal image... currently the sizes are 700x700 2x times the actual size i done some basic maths and diagonal @350x350 = usable max 353.5x353.5 == 500x250. k, its kinda popout art but diagonal not a common one i think + also a new test for my siggys. :3
starting point (i always draw basic face lines like most do):
