I now am blocking in the color and it is starting to take shape.. obviously still very early but you can start to get an idea of what is happening. I am looking for colors in the photos to use and I try to determine what background color I will use.. I am thinking kind of a neutral that would compliment all 3 llamas.  The first two stages are not as much fun as when I get to the part where I start adding detail that will come next.
