Media: Photoshop 7
Sometimes when I conceive of a drawing , the entire picture forms as a visual in my mind. I often take this visual and then look for photo references, so that I can get the anatomy correct. In many cases, I can’t find refs for exactly what I’m thinking of, and I end up modifying my original idea to fit.
This was almost one of those cases. I couldn’t find an exact reference, but I also wasn’t happy with any of the sketches I developed from the photos I did find. I ended up scrapping all the refs and just drawing what was in my head, and I think I’m much happier with the results.
And just for fun, here’s the original pencil sketch:

Hello Kiriko,
I’ve just found your blog. Really beautiful work! And how you describe your working process, it is just the same as I do :D except that I like coloring it with watercolour.
I hope I can be as good as you one day :) You’ve got a new follower :)
