I begin by referencing my thumbnails to lay out a basic composition of the page. Later, I reference my creature design sketches and notes to slowly refine each detail of the drawing. It's always better to work every aspect of the page bit-by-bit instead of completing the subjects one-by-one.
Each of the frames in this little animation are scans I took every 15 or 20 minutes. I know that I'm finished with the pencil draft when each area of the page has been at least vaguely established, but by no means a polished product. In my next post I'll share my process for finishing the page on the computer, and it will be apparent then just how much even a relatively complete pencil draft can change in the final step.
