Kawaii process

Description

Recently I was asked to make a kawaii sketch about a certain theme (a boy surrounded by little monsters from an anime called Moyashimon) and I presented the finished illustration with the whole process.

Before facing the task, I make some investigation on the theme I've been asked to draw. I search for images, texts and anything I would need to come up with a good idea.
For me this first contact with the task it's as important as the following steps, because knowing about the thing you're supposed to draw will save you a lot of time when it comes to draw and if you have your ideas clear you will work faster and better.
Spend the time you need in this step until you think you have it clear.

In this case I had to search for images of Moyashimon, read about the series, and make some rough sketches of the actual monsters before attempting to addapt them to my own style.

Basically these are the 3 stages of the drawing process, briefly explained:
First I make some sketches until I come up with something I like.
Then I take a photo of the sketch (the cell phone cam works) and take it to my iMac.
Then I open it with Ai and put the strokes and finally the colors, background and details.
