Sketch

Zoomed in on the figures a bit. I sketched in more detail a bit at a time, and then lined it, rather than sketching the whole drawing, and then lining the whole drawing.

I've found that if I do a semi-detailed sketch and then the lines immediately after it makes the lineart process much faster, because the mental work of doing the sketch is still fresh in my mind. If I do the entire sketch first before lines (or, when working on comics, if I sketch an entire episode first before doing the lines), it's not as clear in my head, and the lines take longer.

I made a brush to help with drawing the vines, which is attached below for anyone who wants it.

Ahhh, thank you! If you've got any questions, or if I'm jumping too quickly from one step to another and you'd like more detail, please do ask :)

Oh, I can barely draw a stick figure, so really, watching any art come together just blows my mind. It's just crazy to me that you can see this in your head and then somehow get it onto the page. It's a real talent!

Oh, gosh, thank you very much! It's mostly lots and lots of practice. And maybe a bit of cursing at my computer screen ;) If you're curious, I actually don't visualise ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia ) which is apparently pretty common amongst artists. So step 0 for this would've been googling photos of shop fronts, streets, cafes etc. before setting up perspective rulers and roughing out the initial sketch based on bits and pieces I'd liked from various photos.

Wow, that's super interesting. I didn't know that was a thing. I can definitely see things in my mind's eye but I can't transfer them to the page. But, to be fair, I never practised and, as you said, practise is a BIG part of it. No artist is ever talent alone. It's a lot of work!
