Some older process work

I was digging out a piece for a collector and came across these pieces from my version of “The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship”, Philomel/Penguin. The video shows finish, goes back to the color sketch, then to the charcoal layout, and forward again. The book published in 1994 but some of the work holds up.
