I made a GIF of the three phases to my drawing process from start to finish. The process is the same if you are working traditionally or digitally as well. I'm using one of my warm up sketches I did of Agent P for some new Phineas and Ferb work I'm doing.
The first step is drawing the character and getting it correct in terms of pose, attitude, or action. You keep it loose and rough, though my work is usually still clean looking. This step can take a few sheets of paper to get right... and it usually does. Drawing is a process!
The next step is the clean up and inks. I grab another sheet of paper and ink on top of my rough (via my light table) and make any minor tweaks that I need to make as I ink. I do this to keep my inks CLEAN! If I make a mistake, I use Pro White with a brush to fix it. Usually I try to make it a game and see if I can do the final inks without needing any fixes.
For the last step I scan the art in and prep the art for coloring. I drop in the flat colors first and then color the line holds next. Phineas and Ferb as a licensed property can take a lot of time as there are line holds for everything! Thankfully the characters don't have any shading! The end result though can look amazing!
