Pay attention to what details about the inspiration you're drawing from stand out and define the character, from the obvious things like hair color to the subtle things like the size of the eyebrows.A very cartoony drawing won't require much more than an simplified version of body anatomy and basic, bold shapes for clothing and hair. A realistic drawing will require the most detail, including detailed facial features, folds and creases in clothing, and anatomically correct muscle shapes. How much detail you add will depend on the style you've chosen to draw in.Add in all the details, like pockets, hair, and facial features, that were left out of the initial rough sketch. Erase as necessary and keep sketching until you're happy with it. Take a step back and look at where your sketch could use improvement.
