Hey Mike, no,no, you didn't ask it before. No I don't do any underlying drawing for these. The pose is already done (in my head). All I have to do is outline it. That's the tricky part. When I start off a drawing, the line I just made suggests where the following lines are just about to be placed. Sometimes a line will be placed incorrectly, but that may suggest a different pose altogether. As you know, subtle changes may dramatically change the mood of the pose. Sometimes I follow the new direction in a pose if the line suggests it. Even when an incorrect line that suggests another pose, I can see the next few lines in my head before I commit to them and decide wheather to follow it or not. I see the lines before before they happen, then I place them either aggressively or subtly depending on the feeling. ehhh...does that make sense? Always like your visits too.
Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your "process explanation" It's wonderful to learn how other artists think, plan, and execute their work!

I apologize for asking this if this has been asked already, but I was wondering if you do any underlying drawing for these?
