i look at it really hard

i look at the design you gave me and try to internalize the design aspects, anatomy, body type, personality and so on

i also go look up tutorials or practice elements on the design that i'm not familiar with drawing

i think about it really hard

i think about the design pose prop and color of all the things together and pretty much finish sketching in my head but dont put it on paper because i want to pick a time where drawing it feels Right and i'm feeling the right tempo and thinking in the right deforme level

i go at it really hard

i sit down and sketch and line it in like 3 hours - i like the momentum of going straight from sketch to line without waiting - then take my time cleaning up the lines, playing with the shading and coloring
