Re-reading Charles Vess' walkthru of his gorgeous illustration: Fairy Procession (which happens to be in his excellent book - Drawing Down the Moon... gorgeous, gorgeous illustrations!) I was happy to read he suffers from the same fears I do of that first step in the colouring process.
I have been summoning the courage to put some colour down on this for weeks now. I suppose I am worried I might stuff it up with my very first stroke.
So, partially to ease into it and mostly to help create a united base of colour to work from I have put down a light wash of burnt umber. Baby steps!
