First up, the pencils. I rough this out with blue lead first focusing on the flow of the eye across the page. Also, I try to keep in mind where the text will go.

Here's the first light water color wash. Again, here I'm forcing myself to stay zoomed out and not get into any detail. Just laying down super light washes along the eye flow lines of the page.
This is another round of washes. Starting to darling things a little. It's hard to stay patient in this process. I'm used to pencils then ink then done. Gotta let these sit a bit between layers.The rest of the process is coming!
