Description
Operational:

1. Make Out line

2. You can use pen tool or pencil tool to make outlines.

3. And then, I will start making face part from the eye.

4. Use specific brush* to make an eyelid.
(* check out hair tutorial [link] )

5. Make some layers to make the eyeball became more apparent. Set the transparency and the opacity as you like.

6. Make shading inside the eye.

7. Make three layers eye brow or as much as you like.

8. Make a simple shape for a nose hole.

9. And then make a lip line.

10. Behind the lip line add one layer lip shape.

11. Then make more layers to become more apparent. Add dark color and light color, don't forget to use transparency.

12. Fill the face with skin color.

13. Make shading based on the real picture. Use skin color then change the transparency into "Multiply" and lower the opacity as you like.
Here I use the "Blur Effect" for shading. Click "Effect" on Menu Command, and choose "Gaussian Blur" on Blur menu. There you can set the Radius of Blur as you like. (I use 1 px for shading).

14. Add more layers with darker color depending on the lighting.

15. Add light color shading to give the 3D impression on forehead, nose and cheek.

16. Now we finish with the face. Use this shading style for other part too.

If there any question, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Good luck then!!!(^_^)v

Program: Adobe Illustrator 10

(Note: I don't use Adobe Illustrator CS 'cos I think Adobe Illustrator 10 is more convenient to use. ^^)
