This is great! It's always lovely to see people's process and methods as they go along. I'm impressed with how clean you manage to keep everything and how vibrant the colours come out, as well as all the metaphors you put in there without making the picture look too busy. Also, wow, those are fine lines to be done with a brush! It never works for me an I always end up using a pen and dipping the nib in watercolour instead of ink. Maybe I should use much bigger canvas like you did.
Do you work with something under your hand to keep it from smudging fresh or pencil areas? Your colours have a bit of a thick look to them and I'm wondering how quickly they dry compared to the very diluted style I'm used to and how that affects the final look of things and possibility of effects.
Scans and photos can never really reproduce the effect of metallic gel pens, but since these already look fantastic I bed that they are simply gorgeous. It's really cool to see them from birth like this.
(If I may, would you consider x-posting this on drawmelot and/or drawmelot? For certain others would really love to see this!)
