Also,I did a color study, trying to feel out the direction and style I would ultimately end up with. This one is more a truly painterly style approach. I eliminated or covered the cartoony black lines and began the process of subtle shading. Below this is a blow-up of the proof.

Here’s the original sketch from my sketchbook. It’s pretty much the final. After HATING the coloring job I was doing in the computer, I pulled out the sketchbook and INKED the red pencil drawing. Scanned it again and was off to the races.
