Illustration Master Class 2013- thumbnails and sketch

Illustration Master Class 2013 is less than 72 hours away. I have my preliminary drawing complete, I have my thumbnail sketches done.  OH, and unlike last year... I have my driver's license renewed. I shall do my best to give a full report from the bunker like last year.
OH, this year's topic for me... Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book. If you haven't read it, please do so. I loved it and have read it two and a half times. And I have only read a handful of books more than once that are not art books.
