Sometimes a pose and a model are so inspiring that I feel compelled to take a sketch to the next level. Grayscale is often that crucial step between a drawing and a full-color painting. I'm even considering taking this piece further! Follow CM Substack shorturl.at/f1kDE

The drawing process itself is fairly straightforward. The most intricate part, however, is the conceptualization—determining how to represent the core idea in an allegorical way. I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to follow CM Substack 👉 shorturl.at/eJOZG

I started with a loose sketch for this Warrior/Viking character, initially intending to give him a fierce war expression. However, I realized his pose is more observant and contemplative rather than aggressive, so I've went to that direction. shorturl.at/cBAG0

If you're confident in your knowledge of anatomy, light and shadow, you can go straight from a practice sketch to full inks. This will simply highlight areas where you can still improve. It's a win-win situation for your development! #Sketching #inking #Morningpractice #WIP

Early Morning sketching, try to be playful, see what the pose suggests, may be the start of an idea for a short story or even a full adventure!

Look for dynamic photos that suggest something is happening!

Try to capture the essence of the pose and add to it from your own mental archive!

Add some background characters and we have a scene!

Lucho's writing tip of the day: A story's universal theme determines the rest of the writer's choices. "Love conquers all" is a theme in *Romeo and Juliet*, the power of friendship in *Harry Potter* and *Lord of the rings* What is your theme? Please share in the comments!
