i couldn't leave well enough alone and put in (basted lightly) a background color of sorts. but i'm more or less satisfied with it. i finished another page last night and am going to see how far i get this week to determine whether to actually make a "go" of this as a regular thing.

i'm not so fond of the redrawing, but this wasn't nearly as painful as i thought it might be. and you're right ~ it's all part of the exercise.
