Draw anime characters step by step

Hello!
I have long wanted to draw an anime character. Maybe because I'm not indifferent to the anime, but maybe because I never drew anything like that.
I chose an object for drawing for a long time, because there were a lot of them, I wanted to draw everything and at once). The choice fell on the light priestess (healer) Merry of anime (manga) "Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash". In online games, whenever possible, I always choose the heal, which is probably why I decided to draw it.

By the way, this anime is interesting to me not only the plot, but also an unusual, like a watercolor painting.
I found a suitable picture for the sample without problems:

I painted with watercolor pencils KOH-I-NOOR, I used a gel pen for the stroke.
