Fine-tuning a second rough sketch, along with a color comp. And more progress on the music track itself.

12/18/15 - Carol of the Bells (Part 1)
Well, I decided painting fruit was a little too intensive for my daily practice with this blog. I was getting too detailed with it, and with each post averaging about an hour, it was a bit too much. I might resume it in the future if I just do really rough versions, but for now I'm gonna try other things.
I have a few new ideas coming up, but for now I'm going to begin a small project much like the one I completed near the end of Halloween: painting a background image for a new music track I'm going to try to create, "Carol of the Bells". I've been meaning to create my own orchestration/rendition for a few years now and I've just never gotten around to it. But now that I'm doing this blog, trying to stay active and creative… what better time! I've always loved the tune of the song, probably my favorite of all the wintery/Christmasy songs for its adventurous and faintly mysterious atmosphere, and it's the perfect track to practice both my musical AND digital painting skills.
And so that's what I'm gonna do for these next few posts: show a bit of my progress on the music track, as well as the background that will be featured alongside it. I won't explain my steps so much this time though, since I already did that for my "Halloween Gothic Castle" posts.
Anyway, without further ado… my first step: A bunch of rough sketch ideas for the image, and a basic melody for the track.
