trying to show what i mean when i say i've been drawing "silhouette first" as of late, featuring Wide Aedlyn (unfinished) as I work on more visdev to get him closer to what I imagine.
I put down a grey or black layer with the vague shapes of what I want, and keep that as the underlying 'sketch' so i can get a better feel of the shapes used -- i often only realize in the coloring stages that things are out of proportion, so drawing on top of the blocked out shapes has really been helping me envision it and keep it a little more visually clean
