A concern I had, but we shall see.
Ha!edit: ...aand now you've made me draw Hoity Toity. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE MADE ME DO!
(preferably after you've drawn your own. Not sure how it works for you, but I can't help but be affected by images similar to what I want to draw)
Spoiler
It's not large, but Link.
Let's do it!Incidentally, I would still like to see the "talking yourself through the making" thing you've offered to do. It might offer insights I am incapable of grasping on my own.
Step 1: Sketch
I've made an enormous mental breakthrough with sketching recently, and curiously I put a lot of it down to the brush settings I've got for my sketch pencil. A solid line you obsess over and fiddle with, a sketchy pencil-like line you feel more okay with erasing, drawing over or fiddling with, Resultingly, this step was curiously easy for me.
Step 2: Flats
Square brush + Eraser. Just getting the shapes filled in.
Step 3: Render
Render brush to add shading and depth. It's a relief not having to fuss over the outlines.
Step 4: Solids
Throwing down some regular round brush strokes to add some irregularity.
Step 5: Outlines
Solid black everywhere, yo.
Step 6: Complete
Breaking up the outline with the eraser and cutting the shapes down to size. This part took a surprisingly long time but that's mostly because I hadn't done anything remotely like this before.
Total time: 2.5 hours.
