The day I have a process is the day when pigs fly motorcycles

I start with a low saturation background usually pretty light and make some bigass stokes until I get some sorta mood going (image related I guess) From there I start sketching various silhouettes while trying to convey an image inside my head // .
(cont.)
Erm its usually either lineart or a silhouette it depends on how I want to approach an image. In this case a silhouette/lineart .

From there I usually start blocking in the light sources and gradually add in colors. I pump up the shadows saturation...usually //.

From there its usually just polishing or just mindlessly working on one part of the image. If I was going to finish this probably 5-8 hours of drawing probably depending on how polished I wanted it. Don't over render as it takes away from the substance of the image at least im starting to figure that out.

For this sketch I dunno exacts but around 30-50 mins


Also I encourage experimenting with how you approach an image finding something that fits you. There's alot of ways to approach images but its more or less left to you on how you want to do that. In my case I'm just figuring it out as I go along. Also known as staying away from other artists workflows.
