Starting a series of drawings in preparation for portrait

Took lots of very close up pics of John so I can make sketch studies in preparation for a painted portrait.  Not sure if end result will be one big picture or a series of small ones.  This first sketch is first of eye studies.  At the moment doing in PSD using the photo to start to 'see' the minute details and shapes before trying it freehand/eyeballing it.

  1. I don't understand what you are doing here. Are you tracing it first (yep that's what I do), to get a feel of the face, and then drawing it freehand?
