My first digital Sargent copy, which I posted a while back on conceptart.org, got scrapped, and unfortunately I never got around to reposting the images.
It's been 8 years, so I figured I'd give it another go.. with the step by step below..
(btw, this time I won't mess with the images, so they're here to stay)
Also, to properly do a Sargent copy, you need about 30-50 sittings, which these days is pretty hard to have the time for. Here's where it's at after about 10. Enjoy!

-Think simple first... a cylinder or a box next to another one.
-Then get to a comfortable point where we can adjust/modify that box or cylinder.
-Once the base is there, think of the other features as miniature forms.
-Refine and start pinpointing the corners of those forms.. more importantly, where they lie on the bigger picture.
-Now it's possible to design the shapes...
-..until we have our Refined Lay-In.

Dark to Light.. My favorite of the set. Learned how to control my values a bit better for when I go back to work...

Light to Dark.. Tricky to get likenesses at this scale. Will have to keep at it. :)

Mid-tone out #1.. the original was too narrow, so I stretched a bit in Photoshop. I am not ashamed.

Mid-tone out #2... as usual, I like the preliminary steps better.
