Allan, Julie and Carlos--thank you all! That is a good point about reference photos and sketches being only a small (but necessary) part of the creation of a work of art. If my step-by-step demo hows this, that will be as much as I can hope for. All those pictures came from ones I saved while doing the WIP on this forum--I'm so glad I saved them.

You're welcome, Alex. The atmosphere of genuine helpfulness that abounds on this forum makes it a truly great place to be. The generous gift of such expert advice freely given, coming from all over the world wide web, is certainly in evidence. What could be better than that?

You're right, Carol, it is a gift. And a great idea generated by Cynthia. This site is definitely not fluff--it's got a lot of substance.
