If you&#8217;ve read any of my process posts you know that I usually build up my images by starting with a very light blue then going over the image in successive iterations of orange, red, regular graphite pencil, then finally ink&#8211;and then dropping everything but the ink out with Photoshop at a later stage. In this case, though, I got up to the red stage and was really liking how it looked at that point. So, I just dug in and wrapped up the drawing all with the red colored pencil.<\/p>\n<p>I did some after-the-fact cleanup, manipulation, and coloring with Photoshop, but I&#8217;m not sure if I like the results any better than the plain old red version which I&#8217;ll post below.<\/p>\n<p>The source image here is from an article\/photo shoot with St. Vincent that was in the summer issue of the
