Essentially, how to go from a blank sheet of white paper... to this:

Spoiler:
  1. trace a photo or drawing for the pose and basic proportions
  2. observe more photos, drawings, people for the details
  3. sketch them into the basic line-art
  4. (optionally) pick the COMPLETE colour palette BEFORE applying
  5. decide the lightning source, and use yourself and a mirror to add highlights and shadows

With practice motor skills and a personalized style develops and you'll need less examples to get better results.

That's what I do when I am bored or on vacation, in order to expand my favorite manga and/or adultify characters I like

Yukari (expanded from a short chapter I read with her about 5 years ago): 20 years old, acting student: white shirt, knee-length skirt, short black hair with a side braid, no jewelry. Very timid and submissive, tries avoid attention, but having extra large tits fails miserably both at averting it but also handling it...

Himeko: high school student, undeveloped, school uniform x glasses x braids or one piece very revealing dresses with contact lenses, and leaving her curly hair free. Despite being a model student, student she is working as a VA for questionable productions, and hopes to break into more mainstream using morally questionable methods...

Yozora (or something similar using the kanji for night): tall, athletic, hime-cut, daughter of a rich and prestigious family studying management specialized in art and media. She hates her father is very reactionary and is using ANY means necessary to build up a network of contacts from ALL walks of life...

Now for more details, this is not an appropriate forum to write them
