Outline I like (especially for shorter works)
Note: I learned this in film class (which is why it says "defines the movie" at the top, but I've also had success using it for non-film writing. It's basically a three-act structure, but I find for non-novels it's easier to work with than Save The Cat, for example.
Another note: Unraveling The Map is rarely a whole scene in and of itself in my personal experience - I usually use it to create an opening image that leads into the Launch Point, which I make the first scene
Unraveling The Map - Do you have an opening scene that defines the movie?
The Launch Point - Where are we, and who are we with?
The First Leg - What’s a normal day look like in this world?
Change Course - What sets our characters off on their journey from normalcy?
The Foot of the Mountain - Okay, we’re going on this journey together. (choosing the direction for solving the problem)
Climbing The Side - It starts hard, but you get used to the problems as you go.
Through The Cave - Do you have a B story? Set that story off on its own now too.
Reassess the Problem - You’re at the middle. Is there another way to get it done?
Try and Fail - Things begin to fall apart, can they handle it?
The Fall - The worst thing happens, something so bad you don’t think you can get up.
The Hidden Clue - What do your characters discover about themselves/the problem that they never saw before?
Race To the Finish - They’re up and running no matter what
The Treasure Chest - Did they get what they came for?
Where We Go From Here - Show us the world in a new light, hint what’s next.

Fun fact the outline for A Child’s Ink is literally just a list of Ben's tattoos and the order he gets them in. It helps me keep track of what I've added, what needs to be added, and where the fuck they are.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep track of tattoo locations for a fictional character without a visual reference when you already have trouble remembering left vs right???

Yesterday evening I reworked outlines I did back in 2021.
It's my Warrior of Light, Eferia, in "art nouveau".
Because I am super happy with how the outlines turned out so far I want to share them with you as is. I hope I can manage a decent coloring for this.
Patrons get the high-res file as a PSD for their personal use.

Ok listen, Astarion made me do another thing: draw him. I haven‘t drawn much in years, so - please be nice? I‘d really love to practice drawing him more though and develop like a simpler version to doodle him more, because he‘s just so pretty.
