well to be frank...i don't follow any process to draw a sketch(n maybe that's why they don't look the same 
)....
Well you can start with...suppose you have a picture with u...how do u go abt drawing the outline, symmetry...etc.... most difficult part for me is to draw the lips and teeth So probably while you are drawing this pic you can list down the steps in little detail. thanx. Well loved the way you have shaded the hair.

actually,i haven't shaded the hair at all. its just lines.
for symmetry, i would suggest using a grid of 3x3 blocks.
use the grid on both reference and your blank paper.
now start drawing the outline; start from anywhere; use a scale if you have trouble concentrating on proportions. best thing to do is to use a grid of same size on both.
when I started, i used a calculator
but eventually after lots of practice you will not require any grid etc for the outline.
most importantly, don't give up if after one hour also your outlines don't look perfect. a near perfect outline will take you 3 to 4 hours.
realism requires time, patience, and lots of observation. best take a break after every hour, consult with friends to point out flaws. cause after just 3 hours into the sketch you might just start to go crazy.
another important thing is paper. your school notebook will not do.
but a sketch pad with paper of thickness of 100gsm or more. i use 130.
get pencils from 2h to 10b and also use .5mm 2b and hb for detailing.
a regular eraser and a kneadable eraser. kneadable erasers are hard to find but are the best.
try to find blending stumps for shading or make your own.
use a clear, big and detailed photo reference. shitty reference = shitty sketch.
try finding easy references at first
don't ever start with celebrities

lips and teeth are the easiest.
the upper lip is always smaller than the lower.
don't draw lines for each teeth, the person in the sketch will look like a monster. draw the gums and lightly draw the edges of the teeth. the viewers brain will fill the lines. that's the magic trick. since teeth are the brightest of the whole face/sketch, make its immediate surroundings as dark as possible. in fact all bright spots ona sketch have black very close to it. now look at the tube light in your room, notice that its surface outline area is quite dark.

Absolutely amazing! You're very talented Gollum. Lady's lips looked a bit off, as opposed to her actual image. She looks more serious. But the rest looks really good. Emma's art is brilliant.

lady's sketch is of the time when i didn't know how to draw lips eyes and hair. you can call it a noob drawing. I plan to draw her again, she's my fav. if you want lips, check out my sketch below.

now i can draw a better version of lady but before that i have to draw captain jack sparrow and asuka from tekken.

I've got only one word to say "Gorgeous". BTW if you are planning to for some auction or selling off any time, then do let me know. I don't mind paying for the Master Pieces created from your Heart/ Paintbrush straight on the Canvas/Paper.
Nice Thread dude, keep posting.
