For this specific illustration, I sketched the base silhouette from memory. Having drawn pinups numerous times, I find it somewhat easy to visualize the general pose I want to put on the canvas. Once the sketch was finished, in order to shape the details, I made a reference collage of four different pictures, plus some pictures of my own hands, to have on the side as guides whenever I needed some visual aid. To render, I applied my very basic understanding of light. In general, I like to observe the form from real life (preferably) or from photos, memorize what I can, then apply it, with the occasional help of references for elements that are less familiar. I am not terribly concerned with accuracy/realism, as long as the result doesn't look "broken" and has appeal. That being said, I am not great at anatomy, so please do not treat this as a guide. It is merely how I, someone who is allergic to studying art books, have personally learned to draw over the years.
