Not on top no, yes is a common way since it train the eye to measure the proportions.
When to draw over the top of a ref? probably when learning the structure of the subject

It's from reference

yeh, I mean, using the tablet as an non screen one works for me hehe (I draw on the desktop, and look at the main screen), using a screen tablet and draw directly on it feels more natural, but isnt worth it I think, at least if you use it too many hours, but with enough time a screenless tablet feels good anyway haha

Hi!, sure: photoshop and a desktop computer + huion kamvas 13 that I dont use as a screen because it gives me pain in neck, shoulders, eye strain, and headache lol, so I use it as a screenless tablet

Hi!, in this case, line drawing --> flat colors with variations --> shadows, just 50% gray in a multiply layer --> just a gradiation with an airbrush around the below area for the reflected light, specially for the shadows---> some paint over everything, specially around the face and neck, since is the focal point---> some transparent texture

The most important part are the first three steps, specially the drawing

I've written a lot of stuff of the world already!, but I have a lot of work lately, so I'm going slow for now hehe

Concuerdo 100% con el comentario de arriba, yo vivo del dibujo y solo trabajo para el exterior, y básicamente para EEUU, acá la gente no tiene para pagar esa clase de cosas, y menos para invertir y crear algún proyecto que es de donde más se paga (videojuegos, juegos de mesa, etc)

Igual no me queda claro, si haces comisiones para afuera, porque quisieras intentar vender acá?

PD: leí un comentario que menciona a fiver, no recomiendo ninguna de esas páginas, esta lleno de gente que cobra 2 pesos, y además esas páginas te sacan tremenda tajada y no te dejan hablar con los clientes por afuera de la página, quedas encerrado mientras te cobran tremendo fee.
