After a few misses over the last few posts I managed to create something I’m reasonably satisfied with.
Of course this is my opinion of which I am seldom correct. Based upon questionable scientific research from the previous post apparently I have no idea what works or what doesn’t.
With the above statement then it would seem that because I think the following image is not so bad it actually is perhaps — not so good? Oh well, does it really matter? I think not, and that is why I continue to show my work regardless of what I think.
Unfortunately you the reader of this post or previous ones are subject to either a good piece of work or something of a less stellar nature. At the very least I hope you find the following image worth more than the average 2 second glance.
The Colour Digitization Process
Before I continue here is the image I will attempt to colourize next post. I have chosen to draw only a line version and attempt to render the values and lighting within the graphics software.
Good luck to me!

The original drawing as per several of the previous colourized images is a line drawing which is then rendered with graphite pencils — H, HB and B. The paper is 140 lb. smooth Bristol.
The following images demonstrate most of the major steps required to reach the end goal.
Note: I finally purchased a HUION PenTablet a few weeks ago. Using a mouse is like painting with a brick.
I used this weeks final image as the header so email readers just need to look up the page and click the image to enlarge.
