I experimented a lot with process on this particular drawing, and I really like the results that came from it. I usually just sketch out a base gesture that I want for the drawing, then go back over it and add clothing, facial features and rough out a background...then go back over it again and make the pencils tighter before I finally ink it. This time, I just did pretty loose pencils and went straight to inking. Some parts of that came out well (like the hair) and some parts I could tell where I fudged the sketch a lot and definitely had to make up for it inking.
I drew the background on a different layer entirely from the main girl so that I could control it better than if all of the inks were on the same layer. That's something that I found out a while ago and just makes my life a whole lot easier.
And as always, if you would like to purchase this illustration as a high quality 11" x 17" print on gloss cover paper, you can do so at my Storenvy site where I have a whole bunch of other prints available as well.
