This piece was a part of a series of characters I created for an animation project. The two pictured are humanised versions of the Rat (left) and Ox (right) of the zodiac. To begin with, I cropped this image to remove the excess of my sketchbook. Then I made some slight adjustments to the colour balance and levels in an attempt to hide more of the pencil image showing through the background.
Now that my image was to my liking, I made a new layer and used the text tool to add my watermark, which was my email address. Next, I changed the layer's opacity from 100% to 20% and adjusted the image size from (1206 pixels width by 1479 height) to (600 pixels width by 800 pixels height). Finally, I adjusted the resolution, from 150 dpi to 72 dpi and saved the image as a JPEG. 

Here is the edited file of my work, with added watermark.
