Little Red Riding "Snood" Finished

Due to time constraints, (and because I want to improve in digital painting) I decided to paint over my sketch in transparent, multiplied layers. As you can see below on the right, I quickly started getting too opaque and lost my sketch and gesture. Rebecca brought me back and showed me how to punch the jewel tones slightly so I didn't get too dull.

Started again (oh, the beauty of the "undo" button) trying to keep the sketch present. Oh, I also ended up adding a little to the top of my page...felt the wolf needed a bit more ceiling and brought the branch in from the foreground.

As I was playing around with layers, I accidentally tweaked to the blues and ended up quite liking what it did to the  mood. Had to desaturated the reds a bit and unify the mid-tones in the background. It was starting to look like two separate environments. Tried to subtly bring in the sun rays  and dappled light.

 I might light box the sketch and try an ink painting later but this was certainly a learning experience for me with the computer and Wacom tablet. I doubt I will ever get confident sketching on the tablet but painting certainly eliminates alot of the fear I experience with traditional paint.
