The basic color sketch of this image laid dormant for over two years, and so it was time to enhance it by applying some of the things I've learned since then.
Lots of photography and other images of mine went into this. It's a technique I've come to love, and in no way does it replace good drawing, but enhances it. These are techniques I go over in great detail in my classes...the next course starts July 8th in Los Angeles: http://www.laafa.org/sessions/classes_details.php?id=57&class_id=2470&cat_id=4

Thanks for lookin', and watch out for a tutorial for this soon!
