(last anon) TYSM, i'm just wondering about the sketches of these 2 art because these are my personal fav of yours

I always start out with a super rough sketch where I just lay down the idea to get a feel for whether or not I think the actual illustration can succeed. It's just a few lines, but it's enough for me to decide whether or not I want to continue with it.

After that, I flesh it out a bit and start fiddling with the composition, the weight of the characters and how they're placed, the general size of the image, etc.

I never draw the characters nude first, only if I get stuck on a specific pose. I build on 'blocks' and rely on feeling more than anything. For example, the legs on Raki make no sense if I look at them for too long, but they feel right, and that's enough for me, hah! Sometimes I'll take a reference photo of myself, mostly to understand what my body is doing to achieve a particular pose.

After that, I clean up the sketch so it's ready for lineart, drawing directly on top of those loose lines!

It's the same for the monster drawing! Rough idea first

Then fleshing it out to get a better idea of the composition and how the characters interact with each other and the environment

And a bit more of that

And then I clean it up so it's ready for lineart!
