These are a bit rough, but I think you can get the idea.

Eye Detail

I prefer number 4 both in general color and in how the eye came out. 

Final Drawing and Color Rough

Color Roughs

These are rough color ideas painted on tracing paper and placed over the drawing, so the colors can be a bit bleedy and in short. . . rough. But here are some ideas. If you want to see something a little bit less rough I can get some photocopies of the drawing and paint onto that.

Sketches

There are some notes written in the pages if you can zoom in on them at all, it's mostly colors and descriptions. Let me know if you have any favorites and then we can talk about if you want them as a straight image with a simple background (like The Watcher and Blue Berry Pancakes), or if you want a more naturalist drawing with environment elements (like Audubon).
