EMPOWERED vol.9 panel with separate figure rough (Patreon)

From my phone's camera roll circa 2014, above is a panel from Empowered vol. 9, along with a rough for the Ninjette figure. This shows the importance of working out a difficult pose fully as a separate rough before inserting it into a space where much of the figure will be obscured. (I call that "drawing through," but there's probably a better way to sum up the concept.)

Below is another example of this approach from the same page, this time with a Ninjette figure that wound up mostly obscured by how the panel was cropped.

See, you can often go go astray when drawing a cut-off pose like this if you don't sketch the fuller figure outside the panel's borders.
