I’m… not sure! It’s pretty much the polar opposite with me, actually; I find myself wanting to show my sketch through my doodles, as I think it suits my style/methods more!

All I usually do is sketch out whatever I’m drawing, outline fairly quickly (I don’t pay keen attention to how ‘professional’ the lines may look), and, as I color, keep the layer the sketch is on on “Multiply” and above the color layer. It helps me feel adjusted to the lines showing through, as well as how to place marking properly so they’ll like up to the sketch. And in the end, I lower opacity of the sketch significantly (if not make it invisible altogether).

And, of course, I go crazy with setting colors on ‘overlay’ over my pics to help set the tone of them (if not make them more vibrant)!

… Aah, if that little wall of text didn’t help, perhaps visuals may better assist! <:)

And guinea pig in this case is a more stylized Foxy (how I’d probably draw him if I didn’t do it so dependently on his actual look)! :)

And for the final product! -

(Apologies I don’t go into more specifics with how I shaded and all, but I do a BUNCH of crap, it’s just… pictures couldn’t comprehend. <:’D)

BUT, I hope this maybe helped give some insight! I just have a sketchy style, I suppose! :)

CHRIST, I forgot how small Tumblr makes images in replies to asks. <:’D My apologies; here’s a link to the pics! <3
