Practice Makes Perfect!

"Practice makes perfect", my mommie used to tell me!  So since I am not as accomplished as I would like to be as an illustrator, I practice how I will draw a particular page.  I suppose professional illustrators do this too :)  First, I sketch the idea:



Then I try out some color:




I add a few more details.




And finally work out the page.  (Just a snippet of it, of course!)
