Happy New Year a bit early

Thanks for the awesome year, you guys. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I'll be out of town till Jan 4th.
I included some steps for making this one in the cut if you want. :)

SCROLL DOWN FOR PROGRESS



Reference images: (plus some googled images of fireworks and the London Eye)


sorry, I forgot to take pictures all the way through, so there's not that much of a progression here.



This time I traced in red pencil onto another sheet and colored on that, and then inked on top of the marker.
after the last marker image here (at the bottom) I added more fireworks (done with prismacolor pencil), some more black sky,.... drew in the Doctor's red pinstripes with a colerase pencil, and then highlighted Rose, the Doctor, and the London Eye with a white prismacolor pencil. Then I inked with a sakura pen (forget the type, sorry).
Still though, due to the dark colors and fireworks, I went in and darkened and highlighted a bit in photoshop. (the white of the pencil I used for the fireworks will only get so white... so it needs some help)
