Ink & paint

I have decided to ink and paint one of the drawings:

Ink first!

For some time now I am using digital ink: Pencil drawing is scanned and inked in painting app (I am using Corel Painter Classic: simple, yet effective)


On to the Paint:

I love to put shadows and highlights first. I make decision about background tone and do the shading in different layers...
After few hours of work, I've get to this... Next thing would be to make decision of the color scheme, but I feel very satisfied with this phase, so I'll do some experimentation about the colors and decide if I would go further...
