me? i erase a lot. i also think through the "layering" of the image so to speak, like X is gonna be in front of Y which is infront of Z an try to draw closest to viewer first an work my way down. but i also try to place the "fixed points" of a pose before drawing the more "floating point" like parts as well.
i think of it like "i want the hand to be here an in roughly this position an therefore the rest of the arm must be between the area the shoulder would be an the place i have placed the hand. i try not to draw blankly out into open space, i try to plan placements of things first to give myself anchors to work towards. often i'll lay down light (or not so light) sketch lines as well to help me feel out shapes an general compositions/flow/forces/poses/proportions

i also have a lotta "prebuilt" shape libraries in my head (for lack of a better way to explain it) that are like, the diff parts of the body at diff masses an angles an degrees of flexion in relation to other joints an how those tend to compress an squash an stretch but in simple, appealing an easy to remember shapes that read clearly. i kinda assemble them like legos almost.
i think of it like "i want hand here in this pose i kinda jus have in my mental library an at this angle an position the arm an elbow would have this specific shape i also have saved in me visiual brain library" etc etc. a lot of that is studying the figure along with other artists i like in tandem to break down their stylistic choices and why they make them... i think. i could just be talking out my ass right now lol, apologies for rambling so much

c'mon, it's cute an well written an every character is some kinda hypergay, the art style has actually grown on me a lot, like i absolutely adore most of the character designs
