Description
Here is a quick process of how I work.I'll give you a fair warning I'm not professional so use at your own risk lol.
Step 1 is the basic layout , direction or thumbnails. Try a fre diffrent poses roll with the one you want.
Step 2 Work your anatomy, make it right the best you can but remember effects such as acton clothing stretching and size.
Step 3 Refine your Anatomy futher and put the basic cut of clothing or arom/ design the character might wear.
Step 4 Pull it all together, this is a step many might consider final but not me lol.
Step 5 in stead of having empty pencils devote time to these areas, character,details, ligting, and shading.
This is just a simple process and I have to fly late for work lol.

try the first basic structure (the first step), like your line things and the head, i did it differently so i wanted to try your style of skeleton structure, and see if my proprotion changes for the better.

Yay tutorials! ^-^ It bugs me how people don't draw the body FIRST, then the clothing over it. DX It really messes up proportions but I can tell in all your drawings you draw the body first, then the clothes over it. <3

Well you may ink or color anything from western knights it's all up in the air right now in terms of design, usually Vivid inks my stuff but I know she has been a bit busy so I havn't bugged her and also I've been practicing, but feel free......keep in mind My lines can be hard to follow on some sketches lol. such as Gunwraith.

is it good for inking, how does it work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I really like it.
It had good tools, I also got a tool from someone here on DA that I forget where it's from but I could pass it to you if you were interested.
Another important trick for inking nicely is to have your picture at a nice big resolution before you ink over it, something like 2000 x 3000 pixels. 
The only problem with Corel is that it can make lines look jagged at certain zoom levels, but if you preview the pic in another program it looks awesome. So you just have to have faith in the lines. XD

well the paper seemed longer than a normal sheet. I was just wonder if you use that length or do you use a regular sheet?

I use printer paper yep 8.5 by 11 in all honesty I know "my style" anatomy pretty so I do some quick thumbs then jump right into drawing if I'm sure of a certain look I may detail that part up earlier.
