How thoroughly do you sketch the outlines of your image before you begin to paint?

I thought it’d be fun to post some side-by-sides so you can see! A lot of my paintings on here start of as drawings, so they are often pretty thought out.

Generally I tend to wing it a little bit more if I have a good visual for the image in my head and it’s a small simple piece. I have enough confidence these days that I mostly trust myself to not ruin a painting if I don’t have every little detail planned out.
Certainly with larger paintings I find that if I’ve already solved everything in the sketch, I get pretty bored having to spend so much time painting it- it’s like leaving yourself with nothing but a big colouring book. No fun at all!!
