Inspiration from Pinterest or my friends bouncing ideas off me

Find some references to mesh together

Do anatomy base - sketch - lineless hair- ink- color- cell shade purple- body blush- double shadows- render/mess around- stamp signature on it- post
Get fashion ideas from Pinterest or just directly take parts and pieces from different pictures of fashion and try to mash them together to form something new and different. Obviously turning it into my own style and interpretation
Proceeds to sketch stuff
Proceeds to do messy or clean lineart
Proceeds to fill in base colors
Proceeds to paint over and render
Proceeds to not work on or finishes it
Proceeds to put signature on it
Proceeds to submit to Artfol
I has a lot of ideas, due to this i'm working on a lot of scenarios right now
Always starts with literally EVERYTHING, like an small idea that comes out from nowhere (mostly this happens) or sometimes i'll get motivated/inspired by something else. Last this doesn't happens a lot however i might start my creation from something that someone suggested me. Like right now, soon i'll be posting an comic that a few parts of it was actually a friend's idea and without him i wouldn't ever start drawing it
After that part i'll make lots of notes and sketches to see how the final piece can be like and after i'll find out something good i'll start the creation
Usually starts with a small idea whether it’s a pose or expression and follows a theme then I go based off that
I generally have an idea and I will write it down somewhere (mainly my phone). I will then gather references I want to use for the drawing and begin the thumbnails. Once i have a general idea and a sketch I like, I will begin the studies for anything i think is important along with notes for any revision (hand placements, face,weapons, small details, etc).

I will then move onto color swatches to figure out the lighting and the color palette I want to use. Once all that's done, I will begin the final piece (:
