Tim,
What you say is the only way that I have ever come close. I virtually make a finished painting and then go over it again. For me this takes a lot of courage. You get something that you like and might add to your portfolio and then risk all that by going on top of it.
I don't know how people get the likeness by starting so loose. Maybe they don't start loose, maybe they do just what you suggested.
