Here's how I draw everything.

1) I draw the legs first up to the head, usually, but depending on how I have the characters facing, I either draw the nose to ears first

2) then I use a black ink pen and outline the sketch, wait for it to not be wet, then erase the pencils

3) Then I color the characters and background


It takes awhile because I have a slight short term memory thing. It's not bad, but I have to screenshot information or write it down so I don't forget it. I also have semi OCD on the colors as I need the colors to be EXACT. I hope you all understand^^
