Above is a quick sketch of my idea that I did with pencil on computer paper. I then scanned it, resized it and used my light pad (similar to a light table) to start the final drawing on arches hot pressed watercolor paper.

I then outlined the drawing using my new rapidographs. This is my first time using them for a drawing! I used them a lot in my early years of architecture school and always found them fun, but a pain in the ass because i never took good care of them (nor did i realize how often they really need to be cleaned to prevent them from clogging)

This image is after I added color to the drawing by using watercolors. 

Here is the final product (i need to work on my signature! i never like it on any of my final pieces of art). After the watercolors, I used colored pencil to add more dimension to the drawing and then fixed some of the linework with the rapidographs.
