So some people were asking what my drawing process looks like so I'm gonna go over it in this thread!
I'll try to maybe add some pictures but we'll see lol (just a tiny tutorial on like the head since I mainly use references for the rest of the body/clothes)

I always start with the eyes when draw, it might feel like you can't place them at the right spot but you can always change it later. After the eyes I do the rest of the face which isn't much other than a few dots or lines.
I put more attention into the eyes since they're the first thing you look at in a drawing. After the face is done I do the hair. You might've noticed that I almost always draw bangs and well yeah, I love me some fluffy bangs! But you can do whatever, now it might look like this.
I can't really explain how I do hair since I just kinda flip my pencil around lol. But anyways, after I'm done with the sketch I fill it in one more time but I press harder on the pencil (note, I never ink my art unless I use really dark colors, if I do tho I do it last!)
When you've filled it in again it's time to start coloring/shading! I use Promarkers so when I for example color the eyes I have to be quick because I can't let it dry. So if you use Promarkers be quick with the shading/coloring!
The hair is a different story, for the hair I pick one or two markers in the same color but different shades, so one light blue and one dark blue or just a light blue. I then color the first area with the light blue. After that I use the dark blue and do these kind of strokes ig?
you might have to do multiple layers and if you do, make the strokes shorter and shorter. After a while it should look something like this. You can always switch colors so dw.
Moving onto the skin, for the skin you also have to be very quick to get smoooooth shading without weird lines and strokes. I always use at least 4 different markers for the skin. Always go in with the lightest color first and then darker and darker.
Make sure that the transition is smooth otherwise it might look weird, unless you want sharp shadows ofc. after you're done with the skin you can make some highlights and add a few details like freckles or hearts or something.
Now for the final touch... Take out your inkyinkink pen and fill in the outline of the piece! And boom you're done :D
