OC sketch comparison

Recently I continued on adjusting my approach of drawing/sketching/inking, and suddenly got a workflow that I really want to test. So I drew my old OC again and the result seems better than what I did last month.
這幾天換到小一號的cintiq上作業(是的我其實有好幾顆cintiq...),突然發現手感變好,於是立馬測試上個月沒成功畫好的舊自創角色,然後莫名其妙就走過了本來卡住的關。先弄了個比較圖,希望不是我的錯覺,這個月的測試應該有比上個月進步...吧。

Turns out if I force myself only to get used to certain programs or devices, I will never find the ideal workflow. Instead, I literally need to try all the possible combinations and find the one that 'feels right'. It really sounds like a desperate solution but...it works better than I could ever expect.
總之呃...過去我一直試圖說服自己,只要習慣某某軟體某某設備就能順利作畫,如果畫不順手一定是因為觀念偏差或練習量不足,但結果是越強迫自己就越找不到手感。找到真正順手的軟體和設備對我來說可能真的很重要吧,養這種刁鑽的手感真的很讓人頭痛。

So now I can get a sketch that only needs to be further detailed and after some brightness/contrast adjustment, the result will be as good as a fully-inked work. Not only this will save tons of time, but I can also get a better composition and dynamic overall. This method should work on most character/creature drawings. (Not include background though) I'm still figuring out the final step (detailing) but just want to make a quick post here.
如果這張圖能進一步順利細化,基本上畫角色/生物線稿的難題就差不多解決了。可以直接繞過「上墨線」這個步驟,調一下黑白對比清一下雜線就能收工,不僅省了一拖拉庫時間,也能更快找到理想的動態和構圖!目前還在細化這張角色圖,發這po只是想先上來報告一下。(至於畫背景還在卡關中...只能一次一個關卡慢慢解...)

Aw thank you again for your feedback! Now I am more confident about the new approach. This one so far even took me less time compared to the attempt in last month. :D

Ooh looking at your previous versions, I can see that the clothing folds and their movement are more dynamic. The composition is definitely better as I was immediately drawn to his head/shoulder area, compared to the 2012 ver. where my attention had to shift diagonally from his left feet to his head. Glad that your workflow got better!
