Sketch & Color Comp

 

 

 

Sketch

Originally, I had planned to show one color butterfly (the prince?  Or one were "following" at least) with a million soft grey butterflies floating over some grass.  As I did the color comps below, I realized I didn't like the look or feel of this approach (plus it would have been too expensive on press) and simplified it down to just the single butterfly against a blue sky, with the sun coming through his wings.  

 


Color Comp

This is a scan of the scrap paper where I tried out three different approaches until finding the one I liked.  The actual size of #3 is about 1" x 2".
