    Step 3.
    After getting the sketches and reference together I draw the lower legs, torsos and heads separately.

    I draw the parts on tracing vellum, over my reference or rough sketches.
    I then scan in the pieces and in PS clean up the work. Adjust the levels to get a nice contrasty image, then I select the white and delete it making the background transparent. Using a large red layer stroke I find all the crap that is partially a result of having a dusty scanner. Selecting the background again and then increasing the selection by 1 pxl usually removes most of the crap.

    Step 4.
    I've put the bodies away for a bit, since the next step there is to head to illustrator. I've taken my head template and made a nice b/w version of it.
    Then duplicating it 8 times make a template to create my samuarai heads.

    Truly top down tokens would rarely show the face, so here I have taken a bit of an angle so that facial features can be seen so that the tokens have a unique look to them.
