Create a rough sketch 1

I start with some simple, very rough sketches. I use one of the Procreate basic brushes for this, 6B Pencil, which looks a bit like it imitates pastels. I can work better if I start with a rough pencil, as it keeps me from suddenly getting lost in small, irrelevant details. I always look to generate a strong yet natural pose. A little tip: the neck points slightly forward and the shoulders tend to pull back. This way you can achieve a confident posture that doesn’t look arrogant thanks to the neck bending forward.
