After the entire surface is more or less covered, I go back in with the original dark washy color and find the drawing again. I don't redo the grid or anything. At this point, there's enough information on the canvas to just freehand everything, little detail stuff and all.
I try to keep the drawing fluid and loose, and I don't worry that the color I'm using with which to draw is not the value or color I want to end up with. I could use (and have used in the past) a fat black permanent marker if I thought it were handier than a brush.
After I've redrawn just about everything, I'm ready to go back with more paint and continue developing the surface. Tedious, isn't it?

This is just a great painting and the mood of the light is always difficult to pull off. I like it...keep it up.
I like it so far too. Gotta be careful so I don't tighten up. The last thing I want to do is to revert back to my old style, which you've never seen and I'm not goin' to show ya! Well maybe one of these days~
