Awhile back, a few people mentioned they'd like to see how I go about actually drawing a pic. So for my most recent pic, I decided to do this. It took me a lot longer to get the sketch done, since I was stopping almost constantly to scan my progress, haha.

I normally HATE to let people see my sketches when they're in these phases. Because I'm never happy with it til it's finished, and if I'm not happy with it, I don't want anyone to see it.. Plus, I just don't like anyone to see it before its done. But I thought this might be a little fun.

I guess I could explain my thoughts about each stage..

1. I draw the head; in basically an egg shape. I try to draw it in the way I want the head to be tilted.
2. I draw those little "grid" lines, I guess you could call them; again, in the way that will show which way the head is tilted. Only in a past couple years did I start using this method. Of drawing the head shape first. For some reason I'd always hated the thought of doing it, but it REALLY helped in getting the angle of the head and placement of the facial features right.
3. The two characters are going to be so close together, I wanted to go ahead and get the second character in place, so that as I go on, I would know how to draw them around each other.
4. & 5. Started drawing out their bodies.. not much else to say about it~
6. You can see that I changed Kan's shoulder and arm.
7. Got their basic nude figures drawn out, so I started on their faces. I didn't quite know what to do with their lower bodies, and didn't really want all that in the pic anyway, so I just cut it out. You can see I put Kan's arm back the way it was before.
8. & 9. Adding Kan's details.
10. Pretty much done with Kan, so I started on Redstar.
11. & 12. Not much to say, just drawing in the details.
13. Finished the rough sketch~
Final: Did a new line art of it so that it'd be much nicer looking. Traced on another sheet of paper. Haha, YES, since it's all my own art, it's ok if I trace it. Riiiight??

Will scrap this soon.
