How I RUIN and then damage-control a sketch I made (Patreon)

Today I got to sketch another set of poses, this time the more complex batch of full body poses I'm still missing for the next comic update ( I need to do a FEW more now, but not too many )

And here is a perfect example of how I completely and utterly SQUANDERED a sketch. I loved the original red pencil sketch SO MUCH that I made sure to scan it first before I could line it, already having my suspicion that I wouldn't be able to nail it with my markers.

And that's exactly what happened, I utterly failed. The moment I removed the red outlines I was left with a flat and lifeless pose. So I scanned the abomination and put the original red pencil sketch as a background layer underneath it. With that done, I could do my final outline and correct the face in Photoshop and added the pose into the prepared panel.

Guzma turned out completely fine.
Somehow he ALWAYS looks great.
