Sketch and anatomy study. What best to use for that than Conan the barbarian himself

Doodles and faces. The faces are partially studies from Dragon Age Inquisition concepts and partially from imagination

Braaaaiiiinnnnsssssss!!

On a more serious note - the characters in your sketchbook, when doing them, do you start with a gesture or similar to get the pose down or how do you go by it?

Love those moleskine pages :)
@Agerkvist: Thanks! :) It actually mostly depends on mood, confidence level and subject when I start.
Digitally I sometimes do a gesture in lines, sometimes I just put blobs of paint on the canvas and form a figure/silhouette from there.
With pencils, I mostly start with a very light and loose underdrawing done with a hard pencil (2H or HB) to get a pose. Once I have that, I erase all until it is barely perceiveable and go over it with a softer pencil for the final sketch (2B).
Sometimes though, I leave out the underdrawing and start with a silhouette (but only on days where I feel very good and confident about drawing!) The difficult thing here is: you have to have a clear image in your mind and you have to both draw with the whole silhouette/pose/figure in mind and with the particular spot you are working on or your proportions will be off!
Can I just comment here so I remember to check back later and marvel at your magnificent pencil sketches
