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 CompThis 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".
