This is a pic I worked on randomly throughout the winter vacation whenever I had free time to draw in the school's lab. I finished the overall drawing today so I made this to show the process of how it all came together.

1.The sketch comes first. I just mess around very sloppily and try to follow whatever image is in my head until something possible shows up.
2. Then I draw a dark official line over the sketches to finalize my idea. This is just like the first stage only I have to be a little more careful and accurate as this will be visible in the final stage.
3.The next stages vary depending on the piece itself and how I feel like finishing it. Stage 3 and 4 are the points where I fill in grays and black, and then color, respectively.
4. This is where I put in red and skin color and look over anything else that needs cleaning up.

Enjoy the final image of the character. From here I can make a scenery and put the character in it if I want.
