Backer Exclusive- Mardi Gras Queen Watercolor Walkthrough (Patreon)

The finished and edited watercolor illustration.  I adjusted her skintone just a smidge, and added more highlights.

The digital sketch.  This is the cleaned up, ready to print version, without all the construction lines visible.

Color comps.  The top one is to figure out the toning split, the second is to actually figure out what colors go where.
