Here's a step by step look at Golden Slumber. I've never stopped to record the process of a picture like this before, so I thought it might be fun to do it this time. Obviously, this isn't a tutorial, but it does give you a slight idea of how I work. Okay, so from left to right, here's how it went.

The first image is the rough pencil sketch, then the inked line art. I inked it all on watercolor paper. Then I went back and added ink washes to the image. Next I scanned the drawing and started coloring it in Photoshop with my tablet. From there you can pretty much just see how the coloring progressed.
