This one was hard. I wanted to try a new approach, using greyscale to determine the values and forms, then add colors and adjust as I go, so most of the work is render, render, render. Getting to the overpaint is the meat of the process. and it's much easier to plan the piece in grey.
A lot of people have trouble adding color afterwards. The colors won't be the way they're supposed to, they simply "color" the values.
Adjustments are made afterwards using various blends, adjustment layers and overpaints.
