Tavern stages

Description of the process in the comments

Before I sit down to sketch, I try to think through my head as best I can for the main idea, lighting and color scheme.
When I know exactly what I want, then I start.

6. Working with color. Adding cool shades to the shadows.
7. Color clarification and finalization, adding post filters, drawing characters. So that the work does not seem very dark, I add deep saturated warm and cold colors in the shadows.

2. Define the textures and complex shapes of the room, get started with color.
3. Drawing the main props one by one without considering lighting.
4. Rendering the main and minor props, floor and wall textures.
5. Adding a light source.

Stage 0. Determination of the main idea, selection of references, determination of light sources, color palette.

1. sketch of the shape of the room and the main objects in it. I use larger and medium cubes to break the work into zones of interest.
