A larger work in progress.

This work-in-progress is a pencil drawing on two taped-together sheets of typing paper, the largest drawing I've done since art school. (I prefer 8.5x11.)


Next I'll scan it into my computer and color it in Photoshop by hand with my Wacom tablet.  There's so much going on in this piece - I'm a little nervous about how to color it without taking too many hours.  Also, will the detail get lost at screen resolution which is how most people will see it?

If it turns out nice I may use it to begin a Society6.com store.  Society6 makes really high quality prints much more affordably than I could on my own, so I can actually sell nicer prints for less money than if I made them myself and sold them through Etsy.com.
