i started with loose sketch to shape and to simplify the shape. I imagine a style of children's book (though each children book has its own visual style)  wanted to make it more like european style, which i don't think it ever came close to that :D

Then i fill it with one color for me to see the silhouette and know which part should i paint.

difference between the face, particularly nose and hair because on picture 4 it's all wrong. The hair was too stiff, the face was too simple, some of the colors weren't right so i repainted them out a lot. 

added back light, background
