Day 1 in the 30 Days of Hustle v.2//

Last month I started something that the writer Jon Acuff started doing this year.
The challenge is to have a small goal and try accomplishing it in 30 days.
The month of February my goal was to make an illustration by digital painting. Deep down, I wanted to paint my Sherlock/The Hobbit piece. But I chickened out and just took the month to practice digital painting.
Before the first 30 Days of Hustle I had no clue how to digitally paint. But by the end of the month I feel more confident than I was on February 1st to be able to paint what I really wanted to paint.

And so, for my Day 1 in the second 30 Days of Hustle is going to be digital painting my Sherlock-Hobbit piece! :)
To start with, here's a scan of the sketch I'll be working from:
