DooDLE  to  Illustration

I'm in the process of taking my October doodles to a new level!
My intention for this particular illustration is to take my sketch and colorize it while keeping the looseness and playfulness of the original. 
I start by working with my acrylic paints.   I happen to like the white of the page and want to leave as much as I can.

The black boots and clothing of Captain Hook is working well as a frame for our little pirate and guides the viewer's focus directly to him.  I decide to use a limited palette for a clean but sketchy feel.  So here is the finished piece that started as a doodle-a-day for my October project.

I love how you kept the playful spirit of your original sketch while adding vibrant color.
