Posing a model and gathering reference pictures carry the image farther and suggest details. The railing came much later on and really helped frame the figure. It's also just a little more environment for the character.

A larger drawing helped me define the image further and figure out what I needed from my reference.

An idea came forward and I brought it through stages, trying variations and evolving the image.

I recently created an illustration for the song Amylee by my friends The Michael J Epstein Memorial Library. With the image wide open and up to me you can imagine I started with pages of pre-thumbnail sketches.
