Use which ever program you want.
I suggest GIMP if you do not have SAI or Photoshop.

Do not skip a head until you are finished with the first one.

After you do well with the circle go here:

@piucca you gotta tell me more about the blending.[I don't understand it.]

@puhie
Sure 😊
Use the smudge tool which will look like a hand with it's finger out.
Use a brush that is soft (Blurry edged brush) Smudge each one using a back and forth then an up and down.
Working each tone until they blend in and look smooth.

EDIT:
I do not have GIMP because it does not work right on my computer(Mac)
here is a photo of the tool bar:

It is currently on the brush tool, with a hard brush selected.

Here is how you blend:
