the right hemisphere of my brain made me do it!

My technique changes from time to time, depends on circumstances, the mood and what I'm after but here's a rough step through to give you an idea:
I've found the best results happen when I jump straight to ink. With a thin pen I draw the basic structure of the composition. With a sharp pencil I add some more texture to give it some depth. Sometimes I cheat by keeping my left hand still in midair and moving the sketchbook instead. Since the core of the drawing has been done I pass around the outline with a thick pen quickly with my right hand. Finally I scan the drawingand when I think it needs it I add some textures in Photoshop.
