I'm always interested in learning about other's drawing processes. I'm still learning to block out drawings first, so I still usually just draw something, and if I don't like it, start again. If not interesting, it might at least provide an embarrassed chuckle.

This is a story illustration for River Twine. I usually sketch in pencil, then scan in and color on the computer. This is one of my few attempts to sketch on the computer. I really struggled with getting this pose so it looked good.

I like the pose you finally chose the best and it is indeed nice to see the process. One minor thing: it's not quite clear what she's leaning against. However, the main focus for me are the faces and they both look wonderful.

Yea, there's something about Stoneback that's REALLY sexy to me...! I agree with Treefox that the final illo you colored works best, especially in terms of Stoneback because it looks more natural and the angle isn't always easy to achieve. Kestrel (I think that is) I think looked better in the first sketch, at least in the face. Maybe it's due to the plane of angles. I think Kestrel is leaning her torso on his left leg, but you should have brought his right leg up a bit higher to support her head or perhaps given it a stronger angle to show it is supporting her neck/base of skull. I really like this; it has a nice, relaxed, day in the life feel to it.
