The first thing you should focus on, is to define the concept in your head. This is actually what I am looking for when I hand a 'start-up' assignment to a new artist. I'm seeing how well they can take written description, and how it ends up in their mind's eye, and later on paper. So you should pay alot of attention to the little details, and don't take any artistic liberties on those items that have been set in stone.
After you've developed the character concept in your mind, you should make an initial sketch on a piece of wax paper. Use a 1 or 1.5 hardness pencil, then add depth with a 2 or 3. This first drawing should be mutable and you may re-do it as your vision for the character changes. Do not throw away any of these initial concept sheets, I as the editor, will want to see them all.
Maybe two sketches into it, after you've clearly defined the concept of what your drawing, you should now refresh the character onto a new sheet, standard ply. Add some light coloring to reflect your idea. On the side of the sheet, you should maybe included a limited expression meme, this will help to show me that the idea was fully conceptualized, and that you should be able to reproduce this quality of work.
This work, in addition to letting us know of your capabilities, will help you to improve your own. The more concept sheets you complete, the better you become. More importantly, you know what to expect in terms of guidelines or new art and commissions.
