It's finally done! After a long mental vacation, the color has finally been added. There's a step by step video of this guy's process on my facebook page for anyone that's interested.

Going through school and college, there was a lot of work that required a process called brainstorming that collected a pool of thoughts and ideas onto a piece of paper to give you somewhere to start and progress, and the same is true for a lot of my art (and I'm sure for most artists). I usually have a problem with overthinking things. I think out all the possible routes and results of most everything I do (minus showering, taking dumps, sleeping, and other mindless daily activities that are second nature). For some reason, my brain is trained to be over-logical and extremely careful, and it makes a lot of simple decisions extremely difficult to make. I have to weigh the positives and negatives of everything. I have to decide how and when I'm going to execute things (not just lump decisions, but piece by piece decisions). "Should this be an array of dull pinks, or should it be a group of opposite complimentary colors? Should I add more shading to the elbows? Should I add more detail to blah blah blah?..." I'm sure you get the picture, so I'll stop blabbing.

This is for those of you who have problems with overthinking. Everything in life has consequences, so don't beat yourself up for trying to rationalize which consequence is the best. Just know that you will be better off with your decisions than someone with similar problems that rushes through things without the slightest second thought. Just be you...
