With linework done in pen, either black ink or colored (i can desaturate the image and increase values later for adjustment), i drop the image into PixelStudio and rescale it down to be fitting so the app don't explode...
I use PS on the phone cuz i make pixelart, it's the best app for that, most similar to regular MSpaint i was used to...
That being all done, rescaled n shit, i go out to functions, and i apply a palette of two colors only, black n white. That helps me make the pixels POP, all the dark pixels turn black, all the light is white...
That essentially removes Anti-Aliasing completely from the lines, that means every grey pixel that makes the lines blend and smooth are completely gone, that way i can apply colors without needing gradient and nothing, everything looks more sharp...
After that i mostly start mapping with the pencils the lines for shading on paper so i can replicate them digitally after, just easier, cuz having to zoom in and out to measure the things is kinda boring. that way things just get a lot more faster, i know where everything else will go n stuff...
Later tomorrow, i'll have the entire day off, so i'll prolly be finishing this... π¬ππ€
This bein' very nice so far...

I think the most troublesome part for me about drawing is planning poses and composition, i spend hours cracking my head on the wall thinking what could i do to avoid drawing characters standing still...
Trying to get creative isn't enough sometimes, there's so many poses that can and cannot go well, it leads me to a game of gambling basically...
