Study from Miyazaki - having fun with ink and color

I penciled this by hand, scanned and then in manga studio 5 drew a hairline layer over it. I reprinted only the thin line layer on heavy paper and practiced inking it with various pens.  I printed one more and then inked it using the pens I liked and then decided to color it using watercolor pencils.  The water colored pencils were too opaque so I had to re-ink.  I also messed around with a kids water color set.

The image below is a photo of a page from Miyazaki's Manga (Nausicaa Vol 3) that I used as a reference:

I got the idea do experiment with color from Felix Scheinberger's book "Urban Water Color Sketching" (great book - check it out!).  Although the paper I used was like 100 lbs or so it didn't like getting wet and tended to buckle.  Anyways, it is a study, I learned a lot but I don't want to come across as a someone who spews out "Fan Art".
