And the color study.
I'm really enjoying working on colored paper. It's great starting with the mid tone, you can work from mid to light and mid to dark instead of light all the way to dark. And colors are pretty much automatically unified.
I think it's some kind of pastel paper. It tears up easily if I erase but it absorbs color nicely and I can get some really subtle grads on it.

this is amazing... jerk.
Nice paintings! I think it's some kind of pastel paper which absorbs colour nicely. I like your way of colouring from dark to light.

Gorgeous work Bill. I love that none of this is digital (not that there's anything wrong with that).
A coupe of questions:
How do you transfer the final comp to the toned paper?
AND
Do you use ellipse templates and curves for the ellipses and curves here?
oh yeah,
I'm guessing this is all sketched out on marker paper. right?
Fantastic!
She's pretty! :)

And you're right, the colored paper gives a great unified final render.
