So this is my second attempt at recording a Wacom sketch. When I started this drawing I had a fair idea of what pose I wanted to do, but I had no idea what I was going to actually use the pose for, so I kinda just kept adding "stuff" to it until I forced myself to stop.

Music is: Cry cisco - afrodizziact(The Paul Oakenfold remix)

Edit - Just to explain what is going on, I usually work in 3 stages.

First I put down the construction lines, getting a rough idea of the pose. At this point the idea is to just get something down on paper/screen, then just fix what isn't right. I then turn that layer down to 25% (hence why the lines get lighter at 25 seconds in) and do a second pass, where I tighten up the drawing, add features and try to make it as close to final as possible. I then hide the construction line stage and the new cleaner lines are left showing, which is when the drawing 'pops out' at 34 seconds. I then make one last layer where I ink the final stage using a hard brush.

I also like to use blue on white because I find black on white can be a bit too high contrast and it gets a bit sore on the eyes after a while. The blue and white are nice cool colors that I find easier to stare at for extended periods of time.
