Do you put down a pencil outline or do you draw straight with the pen?

Pencil first, then ink if I have time. I'm getting better at going straight to ink for the detail work, but for gross body positioning I still need the pencil.

Two seats down from me was someone doing pictures twice as good as this one directly with a fountain pen. I am in awe.

There are some people with freakishly good spatial reasoning. I have to lay down 10 lines before getting even close. Love your drawing btw

Not saying you studied in Korea. But back when I kept an art instagram account I followed a lot of accounts that posted figure drawing. It seems that Korea has a really strong community of figure drawers, a bunch of accounts I followed were from there. And I saw a few post drawings using that exact technique you explained.
