This is a news post to inform you how I work with my drawings. As you can see from the picture below, I am currently working on the lineart for the drawing, which is done using the pen tool. I then select the lineart layer using Ctrl + CLICK and go over it with a larger brush in order to give that natural line look to the drawing. I will upload new steps as I make progress. Therefore, anyone who wants to say that I trace will EAT their words (well technically, I trace over the sketch that I myself drew; I can provide proof of that too)!

So yeah. This is pretty much the first step to all of my drawings. I'll try and use the "Color the lines" technique for this one, and animate the eyes, and make a roaring fire mess with the shading. I've got big plans for this piece.
