Just wanted to share a little bit of this work in progress. It's one of my favorite illustrations in the storybook, and I'm making it my first limited edition print. Am feeling a little bit OCD because I started going back into the illustration and making adjustments to the original, but couldn't help it. It's therapeutic.
These are a few of the colors I'm using... mixing Winsor Newton gouache with Liquitex acrylic paints with Acryla gouache. A pinch of that opera pink really makes things pop.
Here you can see the comparison... a few of the adjustments I've made... I addded more blond hair creeping into the nearby porthole and have been refining the image overall with accents.
