I haven't drawn in a couple years (I kind of gave up on it when I started taking writing more seriously), and I don't have a scanner, but I have nothing to do for a couple days so I'm going to try to attempt this.
I wish I had charcs.
EDIT: I don't have a medium appropriate for what I feel like doing so I'm gonna MS Paint it up, too (actually graphics gale because I like the right-click capture and better zoom). I think I have an idea. I'll post some in-betweens along the way maybe.

Alright, first couple steps. Basic lineart, and then filling in the face and trying to establish the basic tone and shading. Going to go for a flat shading with kind of blown out highlights and a high contrast. Forcing myself to do this completely with an MS Paint-style freeware doodad, so I'm keeping it very low res.
I don't really want to exaggerate the proportions or anything in this. I'm going to abstract it in a couple other ways, maybe use a little color a la Sin City if I can make it work, but I'm not much of a cartoonist, so I want to keep the forms realistic.

Looks great frog.
Cleaned up the face and I'm fairly happy with it now. Starting to get rid of outlines. Not looking forward to doing the background and the lamp. Also struggling a bit with the hand and how I'm going to shade it, but the great thing about pixel art is that it's really easy to refine stuff until you get it right.
EDIT: Started on the lamp and backgound, most of the line art gone now.
