I've finished with the lineart to a piece and am here:
<IMG src="http://www.codicspace.com/images/illustration/bigsword%20copy.jpg" border="0">

I was wondering as to what the next step would be for other artists when they reach this point with a piece? do you get a feel for lighting first or maybe do you feel out the colors you're going to use or what?

i get really lost at this point, as i'm not sure what the most effecient *next* step should be.

and also, does anyone know of any good resources to help with rendering drapery? stock photos are tuts anywhere?

c&c most appreciated.
