I attempted to do some stuff with TM's art style. For the first pose, I had a layer with her original drawing under it, then another white layer overtop of that so that I could look at the reference whenever I needed to (that drawing was very heavily referenced, and the facial guidelines were traced so that I could get a feel for the style). At first I was just going to turn her drawing into guidelines, but then I decided that I might as well do some other stuff as well, so I changed up the body a bit and drew two more views of the same character (no tracing of any form involved). On the last one, I just added the clothing and the hair ^_^

Even with all the referencing, the style ended up looking fairly different from the original. So, needless to say if I end up being a sketcher, TM should definitely be one too so that she can at least tweak any problems with the face, body, etc. (though she'd probably do more than just correcting, of course).
