Well, ok. I take a photograph and stick it on my lightbox. Then I start to sketch it out - via tracing. Because tracing makes it WAY easier. Then I work on getting a feel on how to convey that picture via black shapes, because color and shading are too hard for me. Fiddle, tweak, reduce, and eventually ink when I'm finally more or less happy with it.

(I admit it. I like it too, which is why I'm showing it off. I am pleased with the development of my doodle style)
